The Sound or Music

I listen to all genres of music but really enjoy it with good sound. I know of people who just love one particular type of music but don't care at all about audio. My late relative just loved classical music and had hundreds of good records but his system was like bad transistor radio. He had means but was not interested in better system at all. Music, for him was 99.9% and sound 0.1% of the pleasure. He was most likely missing half of instruments of orchestral music, he listened to - either by limited frequency response or very poor resolution. He was a music lover. Am I a music lover or just only an audio freak?
What about you?

"just that there is so much to hear and enjoy in music that goes beyond sound quality."

Kefir - Yes, but good sound doesn't take anything away. It enhances overall experience - at least for me.

300 is a lot of recordings. I have a small collection of CDs, 550 or so, now on a server, so access is easy. Taking a wild guess, 100 or so of these are in pretty "heavy rotation," while there must be 200 or so that I would hardly miss. Like many of us, I'm busy, so I don't get to listen as much as I like (I tinker with my rig even less), although music is usually playing while I'm home.

So how many recordings do you get to listen to in an average week? Listen to seriously?

Fewer distractions on a desert island, but I'd take the sound.

I just remembered something; when I was a teenager , in the back seat with a cute girl; the music coming from a "jive time" car radio sounded sooooo good.

Audio freaks are on a never ending quest.

If that's the case, I rescind my earlier statement; I'm not an audio freak.
