Why Do You Love Being an Audiophile?

As an audiophile, I'm a little curious about these. . .

Why do you love being an Audiophile?  Is there one thing in particular that drives you in this niche?  Or are there many?

How you do feel when someone (e.g. friend, family member, or co-worker) starts talking about audio systems when YOU know this person has little knowledge of the subject?. . do you feel a little superior?  Does it put a grin on your face?

How do you respond when "lesser mortals" ask the question, "So what's the best speaker out there?"  Or  "How much money do I need to spend for a good system?"

It is a privilege to be part of the upper echelons of humanity. It's a lonely place, however.

Music and sound are companions, so perhaps not such a lonely place after all.

Life is short. Enjoy the Aural experience via better electronics.


Happy Listening!

Seems a weird question to me.
I really love music and really enjoy listening to it on my high end audio system.
But I don't go around thinking "I love being an audiophile." 

Not sure what I would "love" about being an audiophile.  Would it be...that I get to listen to music I love on my high end audio system! ?
Seems kind of redundant.  It's in the job description.
I don't know of any particular "perks" of being an audiophile aside from that.  It's not like it's a chick-magnet or anything.
