I lately wonder why I’m an Audiophile.

....since our OP @rvpiano seems bored with th’ this ’n that of a free-form

dis-cussions.....

"This is a test."
...I wanna bite the Hand That Feeds (to borrow the line ), ’cuz it’s just been That Kind of day....😣

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."
Not great to have a weekend father, but one and all cope.
Older brother passed and I’ve surpassed his age.

I’m Point.

Anyway, re the comparison I made re our similar glutes...

He would have laughed, made a crack, kinda like what I Do....

"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

Oh, BTW....

...for the MacCrowd.....Place your bets. 👍

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.  

@agwca ”Maybe a way to procrastinate from other issues for some…”

Me included for today…..

Yes agwca, l think you have summed this discussion up now….. Shed and buried.

@rvpiano Next discussion please, your average two weeks are nearly up.

I am trying to figure out why anybody would take offense to being labeled an audiophile. I have possibly a looser definition of the term that encompasses so much more than someone just absorbed with buying gear, there is the music and isn't that what is all about. Now being called a pedophile.........   Enjoy the music
