There are some sound recordists' (engineers) here as well as musicians, instrument manufacturers, elctrical engineers who love tinkering with gear all of whom would have the same sort of satisfaction from what they do not to mention other interests many have.
I have beeen involved in music as a session player, musician and recordist and since adding Audiophile to my list I find myself going in the other direction, I uderstand what you are saying as there are some people here with incredible set-ups not to mention good ears that would most certainly enjoy and benifit from being involved in the recording process but as time is against most of us I cant imagine too many Audiophiles giving up what precious little (time) they have in pursuit of a new hobby and associated joys what mic for what and where, one more take...and yes those singers who are anything but(thats like having teeth pulled...without anesthetic) not to mention some of the (ego's) people/musicians you have to deal with.
I cant be the only one to have a pile of cd's that are waiting to be listened to that will always be ahead of them and since becoming an Audiophile I have been enjoying listening to the music of others more than ever and as I said I have been becoming increasingly infatuated with sound reproduction rather than recording (despite this taking time away from my playing which is a trade-off I'm constantly wrestling with as my musicianship slowly declines).
Be careful hanging around here it may just happen to you too.
Cheers
