Is being an audiophile a disease?

Churning equipment in an attempt to find the Holy Grail is an addiction that I don't have.

By the way your audio system and room are great oregonpapa.....

 I am very curious with the device in wood behind your speakers....Can you speak what is the effect you feel with it?

Being an audiophile and listening Pachelbel in ectasy after treating 2 of my corners ceiling with aluminum paper and cardboard is not a disease... It is ears working creative imagination....Yes ears have an imagination of their own.... 😉😎😌

Because trust me speakers hate to live with 4 empty corners......

On the other hand judging other’s habit is perhaps in some case a disease ....

My addiction is music for the soul, my hobby is working to increase the sound wave perception at no cost....

I dont buy or collect gear tough....

Gear Acquisition Syndrome

I consider myself an audiophile precisely because i dont buy anything....

An audiophile love music but gives some thoughts to take care of the 3 embeddings of his audio system: the mechanical resonant field, the electrical field of the house, and the acoustical field of the room...

Compulsive buying and upgrades are a disease increased by disinformation in the marketing of electronic components and promoted in most audio forums...

Creating Hi-Fi experience cost peanuts if we learn to embed our already relatively good audio system...

It is fun, more simple than you thought, and we dont need to be an engineer at all, it is even better if you dont are one.... :)


The reason why is simple: the acoustic dimension of a room is way more important and impactful than the electronical design of an amplifier or even of speakers....In the video someone say: "machine more sensitive than the ears they play to"... 


Being an audiophile is not a disease, not being able to separate head from ass is one..... :)
