Patch a hole in my blues and just play them
For years, my PC has been hooked up to a stereo which is off to my left. That's where the sound has come out, although only from one speaker, so a lot of older music was lost on me (e.g. Wish You Were Here where each guitar is on a different side) and also older radio shows such as ISIHAC where I couldn't get Willy Rushton at all.
Now I've got a set of PC speakers - the cheapest that got the top rating of *** in Argos - and I'm really enjoying having a vibrating footrest as well as two little speakers pointed at me. I have set up the balance how I need it (I can't hear very well in one ear) and turned the bass up a bit, and now I'm hearing notes and levels of sound that I never knew existed.
Pink Floyd in particular is very much better now. But so are Chemical Brothers.
