Types of Audiophiles

@waytoomuchstuff ...*sigh* 'Typical breakfast bev' is a fruit + tofu smoothie...Spouse Ev feels that smoothies are a food group.

Typical chaser: Coffee, my spirit animal.  Black, like my attitude. 🤨

Late night/early AM 'night creature' bev, anything that creates 'psychic ground'. ;)

Not limited to liquids...

I like your catagories, closer to realities....

B & S in our households includes the Animal Intrusions; 1 dog, 3 cats.

Sunny D. Dog insists you must have something edible for her and will place 60 lbs. underfoot closely to prove it....

She's patient, and will wait.  Has for 14+ years...

Betty D. Boop, Ginger Boi', and Cleo Patra will alternately be drawn and repulsed by you, you stranger you.  Cats that know speaker grilles and cones mark a feline for a moment of terror.

Ergo, an Audiopetophile:  Not your typical audidolt...*L* ;)

Esoteritype (aka Exoteritrope):  May subject guest listener to whatever has caught the ears and attention of late, 'genera obscura'....

Can be nearly anything; Human 'fails' or 'dance moves', loud launches, vehicles with notable exhaust notes (usually of high dB levels), 'music' that barely qualifies the description (sometimes and previously known as 'word jazz')...

DIY Devote':  Has objects that recreate sound; some in a fashion 'pleasing to the ear', some done just for the hell of it because it amuses the muse.

Anyway...Happy Post Thanksgiving y'all.  Stuffed roast duck, cranberrie', riced potatoe', and leftover green beans.  Chocolate heart attack ice cream dessert.

Hope yours was delicious as well.

Stop by for an imbibe when in the locale, may be done here or elsewhere in the area, as this local focal locus is a tad obscure for company....*L*

Have a great weekend, J

“Live and Let Live” with “Canner” tendencies 👍🏻

Not really a ladder, as I seem to be:

1) A PURIST

and 

2) A BRAND LOYALIST

I’m a combo Bean Counter, Live & Let Live, and Nostalgic.  My favorite era is the 80’s for audio gear, for that is when I started this journey and that is when I had so many hi end audio magazines and read so many reviews of gear.  I sold audio for a few years in the early 90’s too.

I also love trying out different gear as well, like trying different flavors of ice cream.  I’m more content to keep what I have whenever I own tube gear though.  I enjoy the idea of finding that rare piece that just exceeds my expectations, and that happens quite often.  Rarely do I ever regret a purchase & used gear rules.

I really think there are only two types of audiophiles.  Those who use music to enjoy their equipment, and those who use equipment to enjoy their music.  I don’t think either is wrong, just different.  Wholly different.   That’s the nice thing about any hobby.  The source and path to said enjoyment belongs solely to the individual.
