I lately wonder why I’m an Audiophile.


Ever since I lately stopped obsessing over sound quality and started really listening to  music I’m wondering why fidelity was so important to my appreciation.  Not that I’m totally on the wagon.  I still revel in hearing wonderful sound.  It’s just not so all-important anymore.  And, sometimes very poorly recorded recordings do turn me off.  
It’s just freeing not being so obsessed.

I like what I've presently play about with, the reproduction I coax out of it, the range of music and the 'other versions' of the arts of noise that please some but not all.

I enjoy taking innocent speakers and rudely modifying them into a version that I can't afford to do so otherwise.

How you feel about that, and how you might object....?
I'll avoid the argument, life is too short, and my hourglass is bottom heavy.

My spouse sent me this:

I'm a fan of 'creative re-use', But.....

- Mine look better; currently rough at the edges, but I'll go up against these NOW.

-I don't like the concept of 'diffracting' sound waves with cones and/or spheres.  It's hard enough to deliver a coherent sound field with current tech as it exists to everyone's agreement.  There's already enough bouncing off the floor, ceiling, and walls even with treatments.

-SAF is Nil.  She'll file, get everything, you end up with ear buds.

-Mine are lighter. Even the larger ones.

...but I'm just odd and in the way.... ;)
