I live alone, but feel less alone when listening to a well set up system. It took me a while, but I've educated my 75 year old ears to distinguish between good and bad recordings and other factors that bring out the best sound my system can produce. Quality cables, room acoustics and other tweaks are as important as the components you choose.
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
