In Reply to: RE: Have you ever heard this criticism of the audio hobby.... posted by wangmr on September 14, 2014 at 21:04:30
Your question is very short and, as can be seen by many of the answers posted, not very sharp.
I have opined on sites such as these for decades that audio is not an imaginative or creative hobby unless you design or build, or both obviously, equipment.
Choosing and paying for equipment and setting up in your room falls pretty short of a creative endeavour in my opinion.
Audiophiles are to creative hobbies what masturbators are to procreation.

Perhaps you could tell us about your builds / designs?

I never said I built anything have I? I simply have respect and admiration for those amateurs who do. Moreover, I have never really considered myself an audiophile, well at least not since rational thought about record players has given way to mysteries solved by magic.
Have yourself an aesthetically pleasing day.

But you forget, he is so much farther advanced than the rest of us. He is just slumming here, so don't call him an audiophile. That is so beneath him......

Oh please, I am so sorry I hurt your feelers by not sharing your beliefs.
My "feelers" are just fine. I do, however, agree that we don't share the same beliefs. And that includes more than things audio.
