The quest for sound vs. music

 The quest for perfect sound Is so voracious that it devours the enjoyment of music.  
After you’ve reached a point where you can enjoy music on your system, no more tweaks are necessary. Any further improvements are superfluous.  The problem Is, if Hifi is your hobby you want to actively involve yourself in it.  You can’t sit back and leave it alone.  If you stop twiddling with it, it ceases to be an active hobby. That’s where the contradiction is.  The enjoyment of music ceases to be the goal.  The “hobby” predominates.
If you can listen for the music, everything falls into place.  The work you’ve done assembling your system has paid off and you can revel in how beautiful the music is.

But, your hobby is over.

Most of my recent posts are in the music forum.
As I’ve already said, There’s nothing wrong with improving one’s system.
 I’ve certainly done it with the help of this forum.
  I’m simply saying that if the search for perfect sound is the ultimate goal, it can get in the way of your enjoyment of music.
