I'm an aspiring clinical psychologist, so y'all just mention this site in a few years and get 20% off:) Seriously, I'm sorry to hear about your OCD, Dave. I know how profound its effects are. As for Joe, he probably is a bit neurotic like most audiophiles and the general population for that matter. All audiophiles (and thier SOs) could use a good shrink or two. Cuckoo to you!
Attention Deficit Disorder Audiophilia
While I don't believe in such a thing, my wife thinks I suffer from "ADD" and finds the symptons particularly pronounced when I 1) change tracks frequnetly 2) adjust volume, speaker positions etc. 3) listen to the same track or watch the same classic scene in a movie over and over again. Can anyone relate to this? She thinks I am nuts and annoying but I think I am simply very passionate and discerning and can't really relax and enjoy the music/movie unless it's really good and things are just right.
