It is hard to share this hobby with people who think the work and expense you put into the pursuit of excellent sound is foolish, but I do enjoy sharing it with some fellow audiophiles that I know. Mostly though it is a solitary but highly enjoyable time lost in the appreciation of what I am listening to and my introspection.
Definitely lonely to be an audiophile
Today Ricardo Arjona is broadcasting a virtual concert, I know most of you English natives don't care, but let's imagine is someone you like from "these" times, English speaking artist.
The neighbors have a crappy TV streaming the concert, really bad quality, my wife is upstairs watching on TV, really bad as well.
I do like his songs so I'm in my living room listening to his previous Hires records, on my super system, and I can hear next door the TV broadcasting and I'm wondering what the heck, am I crazy, I rather be alone enjoying the sound from previous Hires recordings, than socially sharing that "noise", it does makes me lonely though, I like social interactions, it is who I am, but definitely being an audiophile makes you an outcast. Just another dilemma, acceptance is bliss
Good night everybody
