Fun read...

The comment about doing upgrades that dont need to be made pretty much sums up why articles like this are written. Shows a pretty fundamental lack of understanding. 

Anything worth the chase is always both a curse and a pleasure. If it was all pleasure it wouldn't be half as much fun.

Pursue excellence in SOMETHING….good for the brain and the heart.

Great point. Most things in life are compromises… often easy… but still. Pursuing perfection a one or two things is good for the soul. For me audiophilia has been, within my financial constraints, a lifetime pursuit of perfection. Now retired, I reap the rewards of the decades of in depth research and outsized investment. This and photography have been incredibly rewarding. And unlike so many other things, once completed it is virtually free. 

By the author's definition, audiophilia would suck.
