You used to hate it when late night came and the family went to bed, because then you'd have to turn it down enough that they could sleep while you were listening in the living room.
You said your whole life, "I can't build..." but found courage and the motivation to educate yourself to build a dedicated listening room.
Your children see you so little, that as you emerge from the listening room they say, "Hello sir."
Your wife tells people, "At least he's not on the streets..."
You stay up late at night, nodding off while listening, then snapping back to attention and thinking, "One more song..."
You laugh openly at other audiophiles when they say in relation to purchasing equipment, "I'm done now..."
You've stopped going to audiophile shops in your area because you've heard everything at the shows, and you always want what's at the shows.
You have traveled no less than two states to secure a component.
You have been overseas and chosen to visit audio shops instead of sight seeing.
You have owned more than a dozen of every link in the system (i.e. source, amplification, cable sets, speakers, etc.).
You have worked for decades budgeting, scrimping to save and upgrade to achieve a "respectable" audiophile system. The single-mindedness of your quest has never been broken; you have always loved the experience of listening to great music on stereos.
You spend inordinate amounts of time not watching TV, not viewing movies, but simply listening to two channel music!
You have contemplated putting together a musical montage for your funeral.
