Long term hi-fi hobbyists say the GAS reaches a plateau when you find your own "sound" which makes you have goose skin like you never had before and listening to music becomes the thing over seeking.

I was wondering if hi-fi (speaker listening) and head-fi (any sort of ear proximity listening) are interconnected or divergent in this journey?

If, e.g., you identified planar flat response headphones in a mid price range are your thing, would it help you to choose a speaker system or that’s a completely different story?

I'm scratching my head at the connection being drawn.

Does my car audio journey help my headphone journey?

I thought my replacement car audio was acceptable until I hooked up more frequently on headphones and got shattered not finding the bass neither the sound stage I was accustomed to.

I find headphone soundstage to be completely weird.

"Inside the head" sounds so fake to me.

Real life never sounds like that.
