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.

While there’s music playing 4-5 hours a day, I try to sit with my eyes closed and truly focus on my system.  Sometimes I sit and smile and sometimes I get up and change something.

My real Itus, is reading all the reviews and watching YouTube videos and wondering how different products will fit sonically into my rig.

Until I retired, I never had an hour a day to sit uninterrupted and listen! Now it is become a habit. Long story, but I just received a new set of speakers and they are slowly breaking in and of course I am fiddling with their positioning.
