Why are you into hi end audio?

Just wondering if anyone feel the same as l do.l work hard and have nice things.l like to spend money when l feel like it...for the last 40 years ive had great audio gear and have enjoyed every minute of it....ln contrast every time l buy a nice car l lose big money and have a bad overall experience ..taxes,insurance, depreciation  and repairs. ...losing 30-40K on a new car or truck after 3-5 years is normal these days so l have no guilt when spending money on hi end audio..it makes me feel great year after year....l dont have to put gas in it or worry about door dings or hail storms,insurance,exise taxes evey year,new tires or crazy repair bills...so l dont feel bad dropping 50K on some McIntosh gear....you wont make money on it but its better than spending it on a new car in my opinion. If you have a beautiful room with a beautiful 2 channel system it can be the most wonderful space to spend time in...way better than sitting in traffic. .....

"Why are you into hi-end audio?"

Because I’ve loved music since I was a little kid, and I want to get as close to the actual performance as possible.

"I find the lack of a deep interest in music of more concern than that of hi-fi."


Same here. I spent 40 years in a career in residential real estate sales. Over the years, I was inside of thousands of homes, looking into every room. It was always astounding to me how many homes, the vast majority of which, had no music and no books. Big screen TV’s, yes ... but no music and no books. Go figure.
