I'm with you rvpiano, I'm with you. Great example, that fellow on the talent show singing opera, which it doesn't matter that I'm watching a YouTube video on a laptop he does it so beautifully it brings tears to my eyes. Then for kicks one time after reading the comments people saying he's better than the pro's, nuh uh he's not, I went and watched a whole bunch of them singing the same thing. Sorry, I'll go with the amateur. Dude put his heart and soul into it. What its all about.
Music lover or audiophile?
I think you have to decide, are you a music lover or audiophile? I know the majority will say, both.
I’m not so sure though. The nature of audiophilia is to get in there and fiddle with the tools, like any other hobbyist. The difference in our hobby though is that presumably, our ultimate goal is to have the best musical experience we can get. The hobbyist is never really finished. The manipulation of the materials is the fun. The music lover, however, wants to get the most out of that esthetic experience.
By continually plying materials, the audiophile is on an endless quest for better sound.
After years of this quest, I’ve decided I can be a music lover or an audiophile. I’m happy listening to my system now the way it is. So, I’ve decided to be a music lover once again.
