Why are you into hi end audio?

Just wondering if anyone feel the same as l do.l work hard and have nice things.l like to spend money when l feel like it...for the last 40 years ive had great audio gear and have enjoyed every minute of it....ln contrast every time l buy a nice car l lose big money and have a bad overall experience ..taxes,insurance, depreciation  and repairs. ...losing 30-40K on a new car or truck after 3-5 years is normal these days so l have no guilt when spending money on hi end audio..it makes me feel great year after year....l dont have to put gas in it or worry about door dings or hail storms,insurance,exise taxes evey year,new tires or crazy repair bills...so l dont feel bad dropping 50K on some McIntosh gear....you wont make money on it but its better than spending it on a new car in my opinion. If you have a beautiful room with a beautiful 2 channel system it can be the most wonderful space to spend time in...way better than sitting in traffic. .....

"Why are you into hi-end audio?"

Because I’ve loved music since I was a little kid, and I want to get as close to the actual performance as possible.

Have always spent a good amount of time listening to music so I want the best system/s that I can afford. Most things I buy quality and hang on to it, I still own my first real speakers (Koss CM1030) that I purchased when 17. They now reside in the bedroom.

I guess that I have had better luck on the automotive front then OP though. I enjoy working on / modding my vehicles and have  one 31 years old and another 22 years old (I am the original owner).

Because if I never saw a screen again I'd be fine. 

But it if I could never hear music...
