Three things I’ve learned about listening.

It is a fact that some people don’t actually like listening to music….. they just don’t “get it” and emotionally feel nothing of value in it.

Some people will never watch a film again if they have seen it before….. think they will never appreciate it more the second time round.

There are others who do not “get” the collecting thing…. who have no empathy with others who enjoy surrounding themselves with items they value.

Hi-fi and music appreciation is no different to any other “hobby” and encompasses all three points above. You just have to be a person that is easily receptive, who gets emotionally involved with music to understand it.

I, too, don't understand this hobby.

@markcasazza 

@secretguy didn't say he didn't understand this hobby. He said he didn't know why it was a hobby. Not the same. Would you go into any other enthusiast forum, be it cars, guns, boats, etc., and tell the participants what they are doing is not a hobby? Stupid.....

'Irony/Sarcasm/Tongue In Cheek'...all wasted on the slow witted.

It ain't that serious, Ozzy.

 If it sounds really good, leave it alone!

I wish I could

Sit back and enjoy....If you like it doesn't matter what other people say....Listen with your ears ,not your wallet.
