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.

Being an "audiophile" creates the perfect storm where a profound appreciation of music meets childlike curiosity about how things work, and how to make them better. They say "you can’t blame a compass for pointing north." And you can't blame an "audiophile" for trying "one more thing" to improve the performance of a system.

My granddaugter asked: "Grampa, why are you always working on your old cars?" Me: "Because I’m always fixing things that aren’t broken."

Enjoy the music. And, those zeros and ones, dampening factors, air gap flux densities, Litz inductors, etc.
