too much hype in audio


does anybody remember when it was about the love of music & not the quest for perfection?

i remember when i could listen to my rig for 8 to 10 hrs & be completly involved in the music but now it seems that i spend more time cleaning & upgrading than i do listening.

what is it about this hobby that makes alot uf us this way?
anybody else feel like they have lost sight of the reason they got into hifi in the first place?

I think people are missing the point that men (audio/video is a male dominated hobby) are by nature "tinkerers" and love a good project! We also like toy's, gadgets, machines, etc. This fits in perfectly with the nature of audio/video reproduction(entertainment), in that it requires "stuff!"...which we like alot. Makes sense to me to want to always work on and improve, othewise HAVE new stuff when you get bored
