Yes, oxytocin is in there as well. The research of Panksepp, using Pink Floyd, actually, has shown this.
I could have said "music lover" in place of "audiophile" and the message would have been the same....indeed, could have just said "human" insofar the effect that music has on the brain may be universal.
Some have suggested that our earliest music experience was in utero, listening to our mother's heartbeat. Probably some truth to that. There is also research showing that, in the last trimester, the developing fetus is sensitive to the auditory environment, including songs that the mother may sing while pregnant.
My guess is that many of us began walking down the road of audiophilia long before we even knew we were doing so.
