What made you select "audio" as your hobby


I've read many posts here on Audiogon as to the extremes many of you have gone in pursuing sound perfection.
I wonder what made you select this "nutty hobby" in the first place??

It came to as a dream one night. I must take on the personality of my father or I would be lost in life forever.I couldn't possibly have an original idea of my own if I tried. He loved music and equipment. Thus my super ego formed and I was ready to enter the realm of men.
Actually it was an album by Van Morrison that my feces-o-sonic radio,record player, tape machine, with 2 very light wieght monitors that were hard wired to this reciever type thing. the old feces-o-sonic just could not as hard as it tried all the knobs turned to the max that could not play this album loud enough. Thus on that day in 1973 (age 14) The quest for the holy grail began. Where it stops nobody knows!
Chicks didn't like me either..... until I went to college then they chose me, beats me I was ugly then and don't look any better now. The one thing my anchor/wife hassles me about is music played above 60db. At this point I think I am going to turn it up.
