Hifi or no Hifi that is the question

Just added a new piece to my audio system and while listening to the music in a musical trance by both music itself and the incredible reproduction of the products I have purchased through the years it occurred to me why do I get so much out of this hobby and yet most people I meet couldn’t care less. The audiophiles that I have met have quite a diverse background. Some are white collar and some are regular guys of the blue collar types. My question it what makes us love the accurate reproduction of the music so much more than others. I look forward to the responses. 

Happy listening

@elizabeth ,
Well said. The end result is a drug in the very best sense of the word.

I've always wanted to try TM or some other art that can allow me to transcend the vagaries of this life that can intrude in negative ways and more often than not, I get lost in the music and enjoy that "high" that alleviates me of those intrusions.

All the best,
Nonoise

I get high by listening to a diamond tracing a spiral groove on a rotating plastic disk! Ain't that weird!
