Is Audiophilia hereditary and or contagious?


How many of you are 2nd generation audiophiles? How many of you have passed it on to your children? Females have ears too.....why does it seem to be so gender biased toward males? How many card-carrying audiophiles have you spawned after they've listed to your rig?

Actually, I have a good grip on the clueless part.
It's the sincerity that is delusional.(hehe)

delusionally,
I remain
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...
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).
