Joni Mitchell triggers hi-fi porn

I got the Shadows and Light DVD, a nice extended concert. I don't want to believe Jaco Pastorius is dead! Then listened to Blue on vinyl, so incredibly alive, raw, perfect. It's a drug, I want more sonic pleasure, or the echo of someone else's orgasm. I know it's wrong and I'll go blind but:

• Custom-built music room; "my turntable weighs 550 pounds". (I knew I'd want my living room to be the music room, I didn't want to divide my life between living and music.)
• 36 hours setting up The Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature Turntable System; "The Proscenium's plinth is composed of an amalgam of lead, crushed marble, and epoxy, and is bloody inert. IN-ERT."

Even by Court and Spark, also engineered by Henry Lewy, the sound flattens. Or maybe it's my equipment.
