to a frugal guy like me who is having the time of his life making his current, modest equipment continually perform better just by changing the way it's set up (in other words - I tweak without opening the cases or swapping cables)?The only problem I saw in that article is that it presented a very, very binary opinion - you're either in one group or the other. I think it actually dismissed the bulk of the audiophile community, probably because the bulk of audiophiles simply don't get involved in the more controversial public debates and therefore aren't nearly as visible or agitating to the author.
There are two major reasons why I became an audiophile. First and foremost, I love music. Not too many people become audiophiles because they like their books on tape to sound their best. Improving the performance of my system enables me to enjoy music more and more. Second, I'd a freakin' geek and love to tinker with hardware in an attempt to maximize its performance. Since I build all of my own stuff (racks, roller bearings, platforms, etc), I also find the work to be very theraputic. I often point out to people that life is full of both downward and upward spirals, it's jsut that the upward spirals are often tougher to find and take the first step up. It's probably not hard to see why I think my audio habit is one of those upward spirals. I hope everyone can also see that if it weren't for the music, my energy would be focused somewhere other than on a stereo system.
