I will say that my own take on the Op's inquiry, and the one that has the most profound effect is:
That as an outcome from multiple experiences and encounters with people who share an enthusiastic interest for HiFi similar to my own and
to be at certain times introduced to their equipment, be it a item bought in for their use or as a device produced by themselves.
The knowledge of being able to comprehend that their are exceptional systems to be heard and thoroughly enjoyed, that are at times quite different to ones own choices for their own systems, but able to leave a indelible and attractive impression, is quite satisfying.
When a experience is had that can impact on another, leaving them with the impression and motivation that they must have something from anothers collection in their own system, be it a Device, Cable or Music, serves as a stimulus that keeps the interest in the Hobby Alive.
It is these experinces being met that is the Game Changer for me.
When there is a reality check and lesson learned that teaches that when like minded people work to maintain a connection and take the time to work as a interactive group of enthusiasts.
Actively participating in and sharing in encouragement and creating extended enthusiasm.
From this as a activity there are great lessons and methods to be taken in and ultimately integrated into ones own activities within their Hobby.
