What made you select "audio" as your hobby


I've read many posts here on Audiogon as to the extremes many of you have gone in pursuing sound perfection.
I wonder what made you select this "nutty hobby" in the first place??

It's not my hobby, record collecting is. Audio is just a means to get the most out of my real passion.
Walking into a listening room and hearing the Apogee Scintilla for the first time. That was an unforgettable experience.
It selected me; memories of my grandpa's mono Heathkit pre and power amp, Garrard turntable/Pthanstheil cartridge and Wharfedale single cabinet with three tweeters firing upwards, and 5 inch mid, 10 and 15 inch woofers I will always remember for the warmth and power that system when he played classical music on it.
