Is being an audiophile a disease?

Someone may list Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers for sale after seeing this ....

Interesting video, I liked the Pioneer and Zenith commercials that followed. But the initial video does make me realize that sometimes the obsession can be a little over the top. But hey if you enjoy...then enjoy to the fullest.

OCD, oh yea.. disease no, disorder yes. The old Corner horns, cost a fortune today, Garrard 301 and old Victrola.. I have 2 of the 3....If you have all 3 then head for the hospital..

Another thing, there is no garbage cans in a true audio nutters house, piles maybe, but no dumping.. That’s the stuff some other nut job is gonna try to fix.. Geeeezzz

An audiophile love music but gives some thoughts to take care of the 3 embeddings of his audio system: the mechanical resonant field, the electrical field of the house, and the acoustical field of the room...

Compulsive buying and upgrades are a disease increased by disinformation in the marketing of electronic components and promoted in most audio forums...

Creating Hi-Fi experience cost peanuts if we learn to embed our already relatively good audio system...

It is fun, more simple than you thought, and we dont need to be an engineer at all, it is even better if you dont are one.... :)


The reason why is simple: the acoustic dimension of a room is way more important and impactful than the electronical design of an amplifier or even of speakers....In the video someone say: "machine more sensitive than the ears they play to"... 


Being an audiophile is not a disease, not being able to separate head from ass is one..... :)
