Why Don't More People Love Audio?

Can anyone explain why high end audio seems to be forever stuck as a cottage industry? Why do my rich friends who absolutely have to have the BEST of everything and wouldn't be caught dead without expensive clothes, watch, car, home, furniture etc. settle for cheap mass produced components stuck away in a closet somewhere? I can hardly afford to go out to dinner, but I wouldn't dream of spending any less on audio or music.

Rockadanny, too little attention is paid to the ancient saying that the good is the enemy of the best.
IMO, its mortal enemy.

They might have to put up with other fussy audiophiles?

Scott_w, after Audiogon wiped out my system the second time, I gave up on showing it.

Scott_w, my posting of my appeal for welding connections showing up as my system is an example of Audiogon screw-ups.

Tbg - I tweeted to agon a question about nuking my old virtual system last week, as support had no idear. The next day a product manager (not support) wrote me a coherent reply, noting a major site makeover they're doing in a few months. That will fix many problems apparently.

Ergo: maybe tweets are a better means? Worth a shot?
