Audiophilia tends to be a solo activity. Personally, I value my alone time more than anything. I am an only child, am inclined to deep reflection and learning. As a senior executive most of my career... you are really an island virtually always. But interactions constantly, leading and resolving conflict. So alone time is really a pleasure. So, it may be that it is a pursuit that people who like spending time alone prefer.
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
