Strange audiophile habits

Feet in photos. Can’t get over it, very bad. Without socks or slippers even worse.

There are literally hundreds more. I don’t have to look far but let you decide what is strange.

There are feet and feet.

Something must be done about the Tribble infection in her lamp.

I didn’t noticed it before. What’s inside the lamp?

Or maybe her long-haired guinea pigs are hiding there!

Only acceptable when they are covered in green boots IMO. :laughing:

She had the same on her head, and I was in love for both.

Ah, before Ringo became Purdey?

Actually, they still had their mop-top cuts when they appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, sparking “Beatlemania”.

They appeared in the muppets show too

Ah, the feet thing - couldn’t agree more!
Blame the Pics from the listening position? Either way, too late as it seems poor taste has caught on!:slight_smile:

Arguing things to death. Entrenched views with no willingness to admit they’re either wrong or the other may have a point too. Prevalent although probably the same on a camper van/fishing forum.

One ‘peccadillo’ that I find a bit odd is displaying record covers in ‘Now Playing’ stands/frames, some lit up (!)

Surely music lovers can remember what music they’re listening to? If not that, then :person_shrugging:t2:…All I can think of is displaying the cover for a ‘what I’m now playing’ thread photo, which I get. But I just prop the cover up by/behind the TT & take it down once the shot’s done.

I made my own Now Playing stand.

Is it because I forget what I’m listening to? No, not often, even with my aging memory. Instead:

  1. Because I could.
  2. Looks nice.
  3. Better (neater, tidier) than having the case sculling around on the coffee table:/sofa/floor getting sat on or similar.
  4. Good to have a default place to put the currently playing CD case so I don’t end up thinking ‘now, where did I put that bloody case’ when I take the CD out. Not having the tidiest, most minimalist interior decor, this does happen.
  5. Fond memories of the equivalent in record shops.
  6. Occasional conversation prompt when guests visit.

The ‘Now Playing’ stand holds no appeal for me but I am all for anything that enhances the listening experience for an individual.

My own ‘habit’ is not what I would describe as a habit, more a fetish. It is simply that I can’t stand being able to see any cables/speaker leads etc. & will go to almost any lengths to conceal them if at all possible.
