Oh no, say it ain't so.

There sure are a lot of folks I've seen on many a forum over many a year who would answer in the affirmative to most if not all of these 10 points. A couple probably apply to me, too. 

Oh my.  The gateway drug was ADCom.  I'm considering treatment.

I love music the most, but check a few of those boxes.

And that is the headphone system I used to travel with before I realized in noisy environments Bose Quiet Comfort noise cancelling headphones simply sounded more like music... and quieted the whole thing. 

This is just click bait and seems to be written from the perspective of someone who’s pretty clueless about high-end audio.  One can be both an audiophile and music lover, and with so much well-recorded music out there through Qobuz, Tidal, etc. there’s less reason than ever to be forced to listen to poor recordings.  I confess I don’t listen to Steely Dan’s (my favorite band) older stuff on my high-end stereo or headphone rigs because it sounds like it’s recorded — pretty poor at least as far as the digital recordings are concerned.  But I’m sure as hell not gonna dumb down my high-end systems to make that music more listenable because all the better recordings would suffer greatly, and that’s not even close to a fair trade off in my book.  If I want to enjoy music that’s recorded poorly I’ll listen on earbuds or a Bluetooth speaker and enjoy it just fine without having to wince at all the recording warts that become so obvious on a good system.  In any event, being an audiophile and a music lover is not mutually exclusive IMHO.
