Does a taste for high end audio, also carry over into your other interests?


I would guess there are some where high-end audio may be somewhat different than their interest or investment into "other" things.  From myself and my audiophile friends, there seemed to be interest in food, cameras, computers and even into musical instruments and architecture/house design/interior design.  

My question is, what else in your life gets the same attention and would some consider you "esoteric" in your choices?  Of my two closest audiophile friends, one is into other things such as his home and interior design, cameras, foods, travel...and more... and my other close friend could care less about gourmet anything or the design/style of his home/furnishings, etc.  so his interest in the high-end/audiophile world is more defined than some "other" things.    Just kind of an open ended thought.  In education some friends have pondered the idea of selective intelligence vs. global intelligence/awareness.  Gosh, this is starting to should like an article out of Psycho Today. 

In all cases with my friends and myself, the greatest interest is in family and friends...and those are the people we enjoy sharing the stereo/music with.  Hope all have a great holiday season.

Seeking the best is part of human history.  From the founding of countries for freedom, to medical advances and to most things..it seems to be part of what we as humans do..  We seem to try to learn and use that knowledge to improve what we feel could use improvement.  Audio, sports cars and many other consumer goods are known to be things people do many things for...including magazines ratings and reviewing those products.  From my audio, to my car (and my families cars), my homes and what I can do with my friends...improvement and growth..going forward has been a constant.  My parents improved their lives from their parents, I have from mine and do what I can to help my children have good, perhaps better lives than mine.  It is one of the best parts of being sentient.  And seeking what a person feels is the best out of audio and music is what this site is about.  Improving the lives of people I did not know when I was deeply into social programs in my former hometown was part of my personal quest. Audio components are for the reproduction of music, and what a cultural, gentle hobby to have and share.  I hope and assume you all have that cultural appreciation of music and you most likely share that appreciation. 

Of course, if none of this makes any sense, there are always PBJ sandwiches.

This gave me a smile. I just had said sandwich. Organic multigrain bread with organic freshly ground peanuts, Himalayan salt, and $13 blackcurrant preserve. It's the little things.

.....and what was your address again? 

 Many do not seem to know that health food can also be esoteric...or if you will, .high-end.  I am very happy to say that my family has eaten healthy, well and a bit esoteric for 4 generations now.  It was helpful that my Grandparents grew everything they ate and by that it was all organic and fresh.  In staying at their farm, usually what was for a meal had been harvested that day.  I wish I would have know then as a child what I do now about food...I would have thanked them for being who they were. 

One of the things they had which I miss were Black Raspberries.
