I lately wonder why I’m an Audiophile.

I dont need to listen analytically now...( i needed it when i tuned my room ) 

I know what is the balance between all acoustics factors now...

If i perceive an unbalanced factor i correct it ... ( not by a costly upgrade by the way )

 I am an audiophile interested by acoustics concepts and experience...

Since my system/room is minimally satisfying i listen music... ( my concept of minimal  acoustic satisfaction threshold) 

If anything catch my attention as unbalanced  i correct it... ( i recently bought filters and buffer for my linear power supply  at very low cost because i wanted to decrease the noise floor level and increase the reserve power of my tube pre-amp equalizer Douk T8 pro ) 

I use equalization for my headphones and speakers... My room and my modified speakers and headphone being already optimized...

Each day i enjoy music with no critical frustration ,,,

If there is a problem, i correct it ...I dont need critical mode of attention...

I need knowledge ...

The OP posts regularly on feelings....he may be currently experiencing

 After a while it gets boring.

@slaw After a while it gets boring

l agree about getting to the beetroot of the problem….

It can be like eating salad day in, day out. Not everyone likes lettucepray or coleslaw, but then again, some do.

I like what I've presently play about with, the reproduction I coax out of it, the range of music and the 'other versions' of the arts of noise that please some but not all.

I enjoy taking innocent speakers and rudely modifying them into a version that I can't afford to do so otherwise.

How you feel about that, and how you might object....?
I'll avoid the argument, life is too short, and my hourglass is bottom heavy.

My spouse sent me this:

I'm a fan of 'creative re-use', But.....

- Mine look better; currently rough at the edges, but I'll go up against these NOW.

-I don't like the concept of 'diffracting' sound waves with cones and/or spheres.  It's hard enough to deliver a coherent sound field with current tech as it exists to everyone's agreement.  There's already enough bouncing off the floor, ceiling, and walls even with treatments.

-SAF is Nil.  She'll file, get everything, you end up with ear buds.

-Mine are lighter. Even the larger ones.

...but I'm just odd and in the way.... ;)

@asvjerry “…my hour glass bottom is very heavy”

l have the same problem.

My ass is getting very heavy, l listen to far too much music, with coffee and biscuits….

One thing is for sure and thinking about all this seriously, can this all indicate subconsciously that l’m very happy with my sound?
