I tell them I’m blessed to have good equipment and the joy of hearing good music playback sound amazing is a personal and relaxing high. However, 3 years ago my audiophile buddy passed away and the dealer we dealt with died six months earlier than that. It put my life in perspective. Enjoy this life while you are here. If music and your system does that do it. Make yourself happy! Tell your friends to each his own !
What do you say to your audiophile friends who say you just listen to your equipment more
Than your music. I have my retort but let me hear yours. Not everybody understands us. Thanks.
