The Medical Explanation Of Why You Are Addicted To HiFi Audio

I wholeheartedly agree with you!
 

If I'm honest, it's probably less about the music and more about appreciating fine gear, and the (relatively) low distortion sound it produces. That may sound sadder than it is--hahaha!! 

Last night, I was listening at moderate volume to the new Rhino pressing of Herbie Hancock's "Crossings" (highly recommend), which has a lot of sound and instrument variety, and it gave me my perfection fix---black background, percussion of varying intensity, great imaging, etc. I was transported. I usually end my sessions with a 45rpm version of something which is another indication that I'm more after a sound quality fix than I am a music fix. Once you get to my age, you've heard your favorite music so many times that it doesn't move you the way it once did.
