We audiophiles love music.
To get the music right you need to get the sound right, so our quest is to perfect the sound: tone, harmonic richness; dynamics; coherence; imaging; soundstage; timing; rhythm (just some of the terms we use to describe sound). By doing this we seek to experience the music more deeply.
Of course we've got do this within the constraints of budget, space, and the demands of domestic harmony. When we succeed we get a little closer to the artistes' intention and tap more fully into the music's power and emotional content.
As with all enthusiasts, others don't understand us and what we do. This is a video of members of the Audiophile Club of Athens discussing their passion. Illuminated by gorgeous audio equipment, it gives a brief insight into the audiophile.
Perhaps you'd like to join us on our quest.
