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.

@laminarman - I'm a photographer and I know what you're saying about gear; a good photographer with an iPhone will get better pictures than a poor photographer with a Hasselblad. Cartier-Bresson of course used a Leica, so he wasn't exactly slumming it. But I would also say that gear makes a lot more difference to the end result with sound than it does with photographs. |
