Love music like anyone else. The sound quality is essential. Being a busy person especially in the US its rare to sit down an have a quality time listening especially if you found your holy grail setup. I don’t touch or not even change one bit of my setup now. I’m trapped in my music room and car audio. I cant find myself to appreciate any other places or headphones. I don’t know why. As of now, I’m on a hunt for better music formats. Its either I listen to a quality sound or not listen at all.
Music lover or audiophile?
I think you have to decide, are you a music lover or audiophile? I know the majority will say, both.
I’m not so sure though. The nature of audiophilia is to get in there and fiddle with the tools, like any other hobbyist. The difference in our hobby though is that presumably, our ultimate goal is to have the best musical experience we can get. The hobbyist is never really finished. The manipulation of the materials is the fun. The music lover, however, wants to get the most out of that esthetic experience.
By continually plying materials, the audiophile is on an endless quest for better sound.
After years of this quest, I’ve decided I can be a music lover or an audiophile. I’m happy listening to my system now the way it is. So, I’ve decided to be a music lover once again.
