This may seem like a strange question, but are you into Hi-Fi or Music?
I have always loved music, and listen to it all the time (I'm listening to Night Hawk by Coleman Hawkins as I type this). Hi-Fi equipment is just a means to an end for me. But comments on other threads have made me realise some people are into the the equipment more than the music. This became even more starkly true recently when I met a person who has a Sondek LP12, but owns less than a dozen records and probably doesn't play them often.
I'm sure some people will say both, or their hobby is listening to music and they don't distinguish between the music and the equipment. All opinions are valid, I'm just curious what people think.
