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.

@sns  I have a single night set aside each week for five hour or so listening session, never listen casually.

This seems quite sad to me. I guess I am not an audiophile. 

In our house we listen to music all the time. In every room and outside using the built in system (not bad but NOT HiFi). In the cars (love SXM radio). From a $300 B&O BT speaker travelling (low res Qobuz on the road!). And listening sessions when we feel like it -  I play DJ, creating a mood/theme and see where it leads.

Doesn't mean I don't work on getting the best I can out of my HiFi system/room.

@sns My incorrect interpretation of the post I quoted was that you only listen to music once a week and only on your main rig. Thanks for the clarification.
