@millercarbon, "But think of it: audiophilia nervosa. Unlike pseudophile derangement syndrome, I didn’t just make that one up. Its been around a while. A very long while. Which has got to make you wonder ... wait for it... - What is wrong with audiophiles?!"
Are you asking whether audiophiles can be classified as victims of audiophilia nervosa?
If so, then the answer must be a resounding Yes!
This is the age of labels, (amongst other things) and that’s a good label as any to illustrate the ways in we are different or 'special' if you prefer.
Of course whilst social norms and values are never fixed in stone, I still bet most societies would regard our obsession as being slightly unhealthy.
No doubt Audiophilia Nervosa is currently awaiting it’s ultimate rightful cataloguing place between ADHD and Autism in the encyclopedia of mental disorders. Merely being ’lumped in’ with OCD hurts my long time held sensibilities.
