are audiophiles different than non audiophiles ?

Audiophiles: detail oriented, nervous disposition, high strung (though may have the appearance of laid back barbeque, inside they are a taunt bow) finicky, demanding, precise in some ways, utter slob in others, strong focus in areas of interest, ignore other areas.

Have you been talking to my psychiatrist?

" Please take your meds " You guys crack me up . Best post all week .

It all depends on how the good Lord arranged your gray matter.

I don't agree with the statement that audiophiles are in general smarter than non-audiophiles. I have met plenty of audiophiles that I think should be commited.

How important is high quality audio reproduction, not that important. It's a simple hobby like any other, no better no worse. Audiophiles have to stop looking at others not in the hobby or involved to their level as if the other people are missing out on something because they are not.

I'm sure the other people are involved in other hobbies just as rewarding. There is nothing fascinating or special about hi-fi. If it were truly that great then more people would be involved. They are many who have heard a nice hi-fi system and can walk away with fearing a need to pursue it just like I'm sure Audiophiles do when they encounter other hobbies.

Audiophiles really need to get over themselves. What's important to you at this time is simple not as important to someone else at this time. a few years from now you may give a damn about hi-fi and someone else may. Just because some people don't want to become about sense with listening to they system components doesn't mean they don't enjoy music.
