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

@slofut,
Understood, I realize that we just interpret Luis' comments differently. Happens often with reading text.

Hi @slofut,
Arrogance and insecurity issues?
I guess we infer differently the posts/comments  on this thread. Who's displaying arrogant behavior?
On the contrary I find  the commentary  quite refreshing, fun and insightful. 

Music lovers freely acknowledging the desire to listen to music is often a solo activity, this is true. Fact is  many people aren't interested in sitting for a few hours to enjoy music in their homes. Perhaps I'm missing something but that's the reality.

Hi Luis,
Nice thread! 
Many interesting responses and perspectives.
+1 ghdprentice and tomic601 in particular. 
I can attend a jazz club and sit through 2 or 3 sets or listen at home for hours. Very few in my social circle would enjoy this activity.  Understood and no problem. I just love music and the gifted musicians who make it possible. I feel that I'm the fortunate one.
