@dayglow “…does not prove anything.”
l am not an audiophile, that is probably why it is as clear as day to me dayglow.
I lately wonder why I’m an Audiophile.
Ever since I lately stopped obsessing over sound quality and started really listening to music I’m wondering why fidelity was so important to my appreciation. Not that I’m totally on the wagon. I still revel in hearing wonderful sound. It’s just not so all-important anymore. And, sometimes very poorly recorded recordings do turn me off.
It’s just freeing not being so obsessed.

@rvpiano “98 responses and still counting” Yes that is an achievement for someone who posts every other week. Very few discussions on here get to even 100. Most never get high up in the two digits. |
It is comical to see people coming regularly on an audio forum and participate refusing to say they are "audiophile" like an alcoolic refusing to admit his sin... I drink alcool without abusing it... I am an audiophile who succeeded in taming the beast with basic acoustics and tweaking knowledge .. Simple. |
I suppose I qualify as an audiophile, but what I really love are recordings. As a professional musician, I spend a lot of time with the century-plus history of recorded sound since I'm just as interested in hearing how Richard Strauss conducted Mozart back in the 1920s as a modern conductor might approach the same music. And there's plenty to value in those older recordings, even if they aren't high-fidelity. |
@mahgister ”It is comical…” Yes it is. That’s why l like this site. But surly people can participate without being full blown members of the audiophile club to be on an audio site? Maybe l am a reluctant audiophile? I don’t think so but l will never know for sure. I just don’t want the medical implied label l suppose. Perhaps l may qualify without knowing? Maybe l should have an open day to see if l have the gear for it? OR “I just can’t do it. Captain, l do not have the power”
