Passion or obsession


I am curious to see how much audio affects your day to day lives. I'm not sure but I think I've crossed the fine line towards obsessed.
For example,

Do you dream about your system and when you wake up it is the first thing on your mind?

Do you spend so many hours at the computer that your fingers are numb?

When your family hears the computer fire up do they all sigh?

While waiting for a delivery of equipment are you still searching for something better?

Do your friends get sick of hearing about your system or new products?

Do you make excuses as to why you've gotta check something on the computer, then remain there till it is verbally expressed that you have a problem?

Does your dog still like you?

OK, I am exagerating a little, but does any of this sound familiar or should I seek professional help???

If your passion for music has been superceded by your obsession with audio components and set up you really do need professional help! :-)
I hope in the first sentence of your last paragraph you are only referring to the connection of audio to the listening experience, that is the apparent need for excellence for one to enjoy the music. Not, that folks here have an 'exaggerated sense of importance to.....listening to music".

But, since you repeat yourself in the next sentence by referring to 'music addicts' I think not.

On that note, I would say that its much better to have a an "exaggerated sense of importance to ....listening to music", than to have an overdeveloped and exaggerated sense of self. :-(
