Attention Deficit Disorder Audiophilia


While I don't believe in such a thing, my wife thinks I suffer from "ADD" and finds the symptons particularly pronounced when I 1) change tracks frequnetly 2) adjust volume, speaker positions etc. 3) listen to the same track or watch the same classic scene in a movie over and over again. Can anyone relate to this? She thinks I am nuts and annoying but I think I am simply very passionate and discerning and can't really relax and enjoy the music/movie unless it's really good and things are just right.

I think that all audiophiles have some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder. Who else but an obsessive person would spend the kind of money we do on gear or constantly try to tweak things. At times it sucks but in the end I feel its better. It helps push us to great accomplishments.
Garfish: you are too high tech prone, forget the RC for the wife a good'ol breaker will do!!! Or a nice set of wire cutters? OOPS here we go again trying to describe things under electronics jargon what a case, aren't we????
I forgot, Charlie nice recommendation on Lyle Lovett Thanks Garfish have gotten the Cowboy junkies 86-95 Studio, really like Margo´s voice, what would your next suggestion be?
Sol322: Butting in for Garfish - order all of the CD's that you do not own from the Cowboy Junkies website. If you live in the US, they are in Canadian dollars and convert to less than $10.00 US per CD. I ordered the eight CD's that I did not have and they are all great. When I first received them I lined them up in order of release with the out takes last and had a good listen to how the band developed over time. I never tired of her voice or the band during that very long listening session and almost all of the songs are good recordings. Delivery only took six days from the date of my order. I usually purchase CD's used but did not feel like waiting on these after listening to the first two CD's that I did own, life is too short. I do not consider this to have been a compulsive purchase, just a wise one after listening to it all.
