Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile?

@2psyop  that thing your grandfather created is a theremin.Think of the Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" or the " Ooooooo" sounds in old horror movies.Those things are a blast to play with:)

I'm just a music lover that became fascinated by how putting together various components and tweaks can change the entire listening experience from average to "the band is in my room".I 've found it to be an isolating hobby though,the only audio buddy I have is my own brother.And you folks here of course.I don't feel smug or superior to people I know who are thrilled with their home theater in a box.They do leave me baffled at times though.My niece had placed four small speakers and a sub all along the left wall of the seating area.Huh?!She had no interest in my offer to set them up correctly.Oh well...

I like power meters.


Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

The music.

What I learnt in my journey;
1) Enjoy the music; that's what all the equipment are for.
2) A chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
3) Understand the character (SWOT analysis) of each piece of equipment.
4) Experiment.
