Where do audiophiles retire?

I retire to my dedicated audio room about twice, thrice a week. I am retired and reside on 40 acres in southern Illinois adjacent to the Shawnee National Forrest. Hence the twice, thrice a week dedicated to listening. Thanks for this opportunity to expound on myself.

i was not meant to cast aspersions regarding non audio topics, but rather to suggest that people are unique in their pursuit of their hobbies.

what makes an audiophile different than a wine or art collector ?

Mrtennis, Your earlier post of which I responded to was fully in jest out of respect.
I fully understand and agree with your current question. I grew up in the Antique business, so I well understand the mind of the collector. I was drawn to this site to educate myself on "hi-fi" since I was ready to build a system of which I had dreamed of since I was very young.
I sense a Camaraderie and respect for a number of members here of good character of which I feel they also display in their everyday lives. Given that scenario it is almost inevitable that the conversation will deviate to other areas where opinions are held in high regard.

i get it.

incidentally, i was also a collector of antique swords, clocks and telescopes, many years ago.

Where ever I can live my life the cheapest but keep my audio/video purchases at the current level.
