My Rx for happiness
Take one Fleetwood Mac album — "The Dance," a live album recorded in concert at Warner Brothers Studios.
[I just saw on amazon that there's also a DVD of this show: the reviews are over–top–raves so I'd best get it after I finish this up.]
Add Sony's spectacularly beautiful and sensuously designed
CD player (model D-NE10).
Listen to the music with Shure's bottom–of–the–line
earphones (model E2C).
[If these earphones represent Shure's entry–level technology I cannot even begin to imagine how good their top–of–the–line model E5C sounds. Maybe when I get big — really big.]
Put on my Nike Free custom
bookofjoe shoes.
Go running.
It's that easy.
The sound is spectacular, with instruments I had no idea even existed on songs I'd never heard before.
It's like listening again for the very first time, as the saying goes.
No wonder I'm getting out more these days, with cool gear like this to make it more enticing.
But then, we've always known it's all about the accessories....

Joe -
I am aware that the fluid design of the Sony D-NE10 is very appealing to you but I must say that CD is a poor medium to listen to whilst running. On the other hand, Sony has graced the world with the MiniDisk, a format that is optimal for active endeavours such as the morning jog.
Forget your iPod - there is something magical about the tiny little disks. Much like albums, the media has a life of it's own.
An investment that I was happy to make and one that has involved no regrets.
Pax,
Jake
