How do you get Happy as an Audiophile?
There’s an interesting, relatively modern take on mental health called Positive Psychology. While not without it’s faults and detractors, PP has a very interesting approach. Instead of asking questions on the axis of illness and diagnosis PP asks questions on the scale of happiness:
What is it that makes you more or less content with your life and in your pursuits? How can these actions, events or states be codified and applied as general principles?
In the spirit of PP then I ask:
How do you get happy? What advice would you give an audiophile that asks "What is satisfying about being an audiophile, and what are the approaches that get me there? Do you personally know the answers for yourself? "

I’m not going to dissuade anyone from being a fanboy/girl of their favorite brands, but can we make these into generalized principles of our hobby? Was it really buying brand X that made you happy, or was it fulfilling certain needs, and if so, what were those needs? If a new audiophile reads this, are you saying if they don't buy cable y or speaker z they won't be happy?? |
