True audiophiles are creative artists - the process is more important than the result, the result is an unachievable final part of the process. In other words, process is the result.As for the fetishism, everyone is that to a degree.

No Lansche, Classic Audio, big Kharma, big MBL, big bloody horns, Gryphon, Focal Grand Utopia, Venture etc. anyone?Most true audiophiles are relatively poor, I know.
