Is Audiophilia hereditary and or contagious?

No one in my family is even remotely interested in audiophilia whatsoever. Of course, they're all Republicans or moderates, and I'm a progressive. They all have one degree or fewer, and I have three. They wouldn't touch Washington, DC with a ten foot poll, and I love it here...

I appload to Clueless!

One of the most established and heaviest symptoms of audiophilia is when you pay $10k for the 10W SET.

Another one is hearing a subsonic(like a lizard) and super-sonic freequencies under 25Hz and their location of a radiation.

Its neither hereditary nor contageous, but it can be self destructive - sort of like masturbation (as my mother told me).

Just scanning a few of the new posts this morning, if I were reading these from the outside of this crazy hobby I'd certainly be in line to sign the papers to have us all committed: Golf balls, Dish Soap, Masturbation......hey, wait a minute, this sounds like fun!!!
