General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Note

The original post wasn't a question of why we are audiophiles, but rather a statement of why we are audiophile, with the answer being that listening to music affects our brain, as can be seen with neuroimaging. The statements, "Because I love music" or "Music gives me a kind of high" or "For self-medication" are all acknowledgements that music affects our brains positively, probably through what's called the "dopamine reward pathway" (among other systems). And, as some have indicated, males looking at evocative photos has the same effect.

Ultimately, we are audiophiles because music affects us (our brains) in a positive way.
