@stuartk No Christy my wife framed it that way. I know semantics but I do see it as both also. Okay break is over.
Audiophilia: Is it the pursuit of audio excellence or just a desire to tinker.
So my wife made this observation after I spent a couple hours fiddle farting with cables, connections and speaker placements. She said is this hobby/obsession your desire for audio excellence, or just you like tinkering with stuff, tweaking your system and feeding your OCD?
She said you try this and try that and guess what it all sound the same to me. She really knows me and my OCD.
Enjoy your Sunday.

@erik_squires I agree and get the same levels of satisfaction doing overhauls on old Cummings and Cat diesel engines for friends. I may get a kit from that fellow on youtube GR Research. @roxy54 You have met my wife 😄 No you are 100% right and she focuses her OCD on planning trips for the two of us. |
@mahgister it was all in good humor not a dig friend. 🙂 |
@cey No she just has the misfortune of being married to me, a gear head, audiophile, engineer. So she is most definitely a casual observer, and the center of my universe along with our children. I am deleting and doing over my post also as I was being overly sensitive and have not had my coffee yet.

@curiousjim I try to sit for at least 2 hours in the evening and truly listen, not background noise, but spin up some LP's and fire up the tubes and really listen. Helps me to power down after spending the day fixing the world's problems, well at least the problems in my world. 🤔 |
@stuartk thanks. |
@erik_squires I welcome your comments and opinions, and agree wholeheartedly that getting ones hands dirty is good, good for the audio soul. |
