I had the good fortune to have had a career as a performing classical musician. As I would encounter the audio systems of my colleagues I was amazed by the mediocrity and inadequacy of their systems until one day I realized their "secret". They simply filled in the missing information in their heads ! I tried it and am able to do it too but far prefer hearing it on a highly resolving audio system. I suppose that makes me an audiophile ?
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.

....since our OP @rvpiano seems bored with th’ this ’n that of a free-form dis-cussions..... "This is a test." I’d like to point something out to our OBSERVERS that absurd over us periodically... My deleted post of 9/14 in this forum seemed to be concerned about my "Dad", who has been dead for 58 years. I wish I’d know him better, since from when I was born to when he passed, he worked the night shift. Pay was better, and "there’s not a lot of office crowd to distract you." I’m Point. Anyway, re the comparison I made re our similar glutes... "Well, ya’ got what’s coming to you anyway." Man of few words, mostly. Didn’t need them. ;) That’s the Back Story..... Lately, our politicians are tossing @ss around and hitting the newz with some trepidation....🙄🤷♂️ Back to work, J |
Partly, the hobby is an in one’s head a diversion perhaps like collecting art and such. A diversion away from life’s other demands and travails. Maybe a way to procrastinate from other issues for some while others want a diversion for their free time when everything else is going well. When you lose the drive to pursue the nearly elusive unicorn and simply enjoy the music on the system you have, you free yourself up for alot of other things that life has to offer, many of which are far more important than practicing audiophilia.
