Audiophilia: Is it the pursuit of audio excellence or just a desire to tinker.


So my wife made this observation after I spent a couple hours fiddle farting with cables, connections and speaker placements. She said is this hobby/obsession your desire for audio excellence, or just you like tinkering with stuff, tweaking your system and feeding your OCD? 

She said you try this and try that and guess what it all sound the same to me. She really knows me and my OCD. 

Enjoy your Sunday.

I do not doubt your dedication and  own  cautiousness at all ...Your questions is only a good occasion to think about the essentials ...

My post are only for newbies here to think about a possible "method" ...

 

 

 

@mahgister I do not take a dump without having a plan (Hunt For Red October). I agree many just throw money around at tweaks and do not take the care or time to analyze the net result. I like being fiscally responsible and weigh my options and strive for positive results.   

 

An upgrade cycle lasts about a year for me… new components, interconnects, powercords, positioning, room treatments… then I don’t generally touch anything for about seven years. I don’t by my nature like to fiddle.
