Passion or obsession


I am curious to see how much audio affects your day to day lives. I'm not sure but I think I've crossed the fine line towards obsessed.
For example,

Do you dream about your system and when you wake up it is the first thing on your mind?

Do you spend so many hours at the computer that your fingers are numb?

When your family hears the computer fire up do they all sigh?

While waiting for a delivery of equipment are you still searching for something better?

Do your friends get sick of hearing about your system or new products?

Do you make excuses as to why you've gotta check something on the computer, then remain there till it is verbally expressed that you have a problem?

Does your dog still like you?

OK, I am exagerating a little, but does any of this sound familiar or should I seek professional help???

for me this "hooby" is a quest to achieve my sonic goal.

once i have done that, i will be less interested in matters audio nad listen more often to a baisc stereo system than my main system.

thus, i look at audio as a challenge the way i look at perfecting my volley, when i was younger.

in essence however, audio and listening to music is a peripheral activity.

in terms of priorities, there are many others that are most important.

most of the time i listen to music in the background and have been doing so for many years.

lest i be accused of being inconsistent or disingenuous because i have started threads or posted on various topics, my reasons for doing so have been to satisfy my innate curiosity about human beings. i like dialogues where ideas are exchanged and i like to write.

i think too many people place an exaggerated sense of importance to equipment and listening to music. i see too many equipment and music addicts. maybe the ego is involved or perhaps there are needs which are not being satisfied by other activities.
