A day in the life of an audiophile


Keen auditory awareness can be a curse as well as a blessing. Whether it's the ascerbic TV when I'm pumping gas or the voice from hell "Don't forget to take your receipt" at the grocery store, life as an audiophile can be a challenge.

How about you?

Maybe it’s from all those gas fumes you are inhaling. Time to get another job.

Your best hope of cutting down on these annoyances is, frankly, living a shorter lifespan.

@viridian  and @hilde45  I'm working on it with those gas fumes, haha.

I do not know what kind of speakers ice cream truck uses (horn?) but after about 10 minutes I couldn’t take it and had to put in some ear plugs. It was painful.

Even 50 meters away with ear plugs sound was so loud and clear it was like not wearing them at all.

You do not  often see ads on TV for audio gear so i was interested to see what Bose would be pushing when their ad came on.

Looked like some kind of earbuds. I guess that is where the most profit and general consumer interest lies.
