I think it's like what Stewie said. We like to focus on the means to the end. The tangible. That's what makes it a "hobby". Musical instruments are tangible and so can be a hobby. I don't see how we can "just" listen to music without focusing on the means. Unless it's just in your head. Imo they are inseparably bound together. How can you be an audiophile and not be a music lover? An Electronics engineer who designs the gear not necessarily because he likes music but because he likes electronics you would not classify as an audiophile though his focus is what our means is. At the same time he may have a transistor radio playing at his work bench but not have a dedicated system or music collection at home.
Why no as many post about music vs equipment......
This web it has been a second university for me in the last 5 years and I am extremely thankful for all of you that always answer my questions as a novice and in general about the hobby!
Call my attention if we all are looking for the music sublime experience why no as many post about music itself?
I am getting curious about two terms audiophile or musicphile, if we spend a great deal of our lives playing with gear trying to achieve unrealistic expectations that only exist in our dreams, taking a huge amount of time that we can dedicate to explore different kind of music around the world.
This days I am trying to educate myself that is all about the music that I am in the hobby no technicalities as a main course.
Don't take my comments personal is just my opinion and in part to start a debate to clear some of my concerns and misunderstoods about two hobbies in one or something else I might haven't found yet.
Thank you again,
Happy weekend.
