What made you select "audio" as your hobby


I've read many posts here on Audiogon as to the extremes many of you have gone in pursuing sound perfection.
I wonder what made you select this "nutty hobby" in the first place??

My dad was an audiophile since the late 60's and so were my uncles. Use to hate it when he would take me vinyl shopping and to those endless listening parties. Officially got hooked into high end audio when I was 12 and the rest is history.
The Beatles, a transistor radio and WABC NY in the early '60s. Like someone has stated previously, I didn't select it, it selected me. It's not about the equipment. It's about finding and hearing great music. Equipment increases the level of enjoyment. Fun is finding great stuff - source and delivery components - at a bargain price.
