audiophilia nervosa

Audiophilia nervosa describes the anxiety resulting from the never-ending quest to obtain the ultimate performance from one's stereo system by means of employing state-of-the-art components, cables, and the use of certain "tweaks."

Although the goal is supposedly to achieve maximum appreciation of the music, those afflicted with this condition are merely obsesed with their electronics.
Todd had spent well over $100,000 in speakers,monoblock amplifiers, fiber optic cables, Shakti stones, pre-amolifiers, and other equipment and tweaks. And yet he still wasn't convinced that Diana Krall's voice sounded "silky" enough.

Todd was in deep denial concerning his audiophilia nervosa, and his wife was on the verge of calling a divorce lawyer.

Aerophilia

When you love airplanes, you know sitting in an airplane and just looking down on the world. Or maybe even flying one.
Oh man, I cant wait to take off!
Why is it so exciting?
I dont know, I just kind of get "aroused" while high up.
Pretty sure you have aerophilia.
(Oh and btw, a fun thing you can do on google is take a phobia, for example emetophobia, and replace the phobia with philia, then you can find some weird fetishes...)
