I enjoy @rvpiano posts. Our perceptions/psychology are an extremely critical component in our audio systems.
I lately wonder why I’m an Audiophile.
Ever since I lately stopped obsessing over sound quality and started really listening to music I’m wondering why fidelity was so important to my appreciation. Not that I’m totally on the wagon. I still revel in hearing wonderful sound. It’s just not so all-important anymore. And, sometimes very poorly recorded recordings do turn me off.
It’s just freeing not being so obsessed.

I always refer to myself as an audiophile. Someone crazy enough to put enormous effort and money into the endless pursuit of perfect reproduction of music. It’s a clinical term. I am afflicted with it. It isn’t a bragging term as over my lifetime, in any 10 year period, no more than ten people ever saw it, let alone listen to it. It is a very solo affliction. One fun test when I was in my twenties was does your stereo system cost more than your car. That has been true for my entire life... even when I got a Lexus, then two cars... and it now cost more than my first house. |
I concur... The impressions of a very perceptive man is an occasion to meditate ... Thanks to the OP.

Si if you won 10 million you wouldn't try some new speakers? With kids entering college I've become more content too, but if I search I know in my hearst there are monetary reasons also. Just me, priorities slow my pace but I'd give those Oden's a try! If you are enjoying what you have put together, as I am, that's all that matters imo. |
