Alan Parsons on Audiophiles and Music
tmazz:
I came across this quote the other day from Alan Parsons describing how he as a musician feels about audiophiles:
It makes me think, how many times in this hobby do we end up putting the cart before the horse?
Comments? Thoughts?
P.I.:
I think the man is brilliant. He has a grasp of reality that few possess in music. I also think that he is about 90% right. People that call themselves audiophiles cover a lot of types. I have found the majority of them to be gear-heads. There is a small group of people that are true music lovers. Coming from a musical family I gave been in love with music: listening to it, making it, recording it and building gear to those ends for about 60 years. I do what I do for the love of the medium and trying to spread the joy, mostly to people of modest means. This makes me happy.

Definitely guilty… There are times when I listen just for the bombast of it all. It’s fun on a different level- different than listening cerebrally or emotionally, though I guess it does tick the emotional box on some level.
