Can one ever be "done" in this hobby?


I would like to think I am pretty much in audio nirvana right now but supremely well aware how quickly that can change to audio nervosa!

What do think?

Is it really possible to kick the addiction and be done and just sit back and enjoy the music?

Has anybody managed this trick of the mind?

Hi uberwaltz

This is why I preach doing instead of talking. Audio is simply not nearly as hard as people are making it.

On one end you gather the info and on the other end you tune that info back in so it plays how you want it to.

Audio nervosa is something people create all on their own, or allow others to create it for them.

Done with the hobby? no. Done with these forums? …..

Any audio forum that can not remain on topic shows the lack of interest or the lack of long term interest in the subject. While other audio forums go deeper into the topics this one seems to die out quickly and ends up in troll zone or completely off topic. For the serious audiophile coming up here the last few weeks looking for the exit sign is more likely than hanging out, or so I am being told and witnessing.

Sorry carp, they’re called audio forums :)

Nothing wrong with humor, I'm chuckling a little as I speak. It's just that many of the threads here get dumbed down so quickly it takes away from the readers wanting to actually be a part of serious listening practices and learning. You may not wish to go as far as the next guy, but shouldn't you give them the choice?
