The author is surely a disatisfied lurker on AC or very upset that someone trashed his Bose system (or both). As a compulsive tweaker i either should hide or get help...I've been on the fence about this for the last 30 years!

That was a strange read.
According to the author, I am either in denial or don't suffer from Audiophilia as none of the described symptoms pertain to me.

That is funny, even more so because the study was done by a Dr. Bowes (Bose).
I have a serious suspicion that this bit of satire was penned more recently than 1947...

I married with 2 children and spend more time with my spouse than with
my Hi-Fi. If she's gone the tunes go on. I have more of a compulsion with
vinyl than with componets and I do go a little overboard a times for sure................Bill

Well Cathy and I are off to the Princeton Record Exchange now, have a great Sunday :icon_surprised:
