THAT is the way to go!

i am reminded of how a Russian composer (i forget which) who'd moved to the USA after the Soviet Revolution, couldn't afford gramophone needles and made do with whatever needly-pinny-thingies he could find. when asked how he could abide such terrible sound, he said something along the lines of how the music was already in his head and he was listening not for sound quality but for emotion. or something like that.

sorry, i'm a terrible storyteller - i vaguely recall reading this anecdote from Classic CD back in the early 90s, and if anyone can supply the name of the composer or the exact anecdote, please do!
