How could High End audio be improved?

Damn it, I want to be the God!!

(fade in: distant approaching female voice)

"Yea, Ma, OK."

"Now give Johhny back his Tonka."

"OK, OK, here, take it. I was just kiddin anyways..."

Mea culpa, toss away...

"The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflection.
The water has no mind to receive their images."

Somebody does not understand his own quote. You, the bamboo stick does not belong to you.

OK, toss away...

OK, so then how do we, mechanically, so to speak, get people to appreciate beauty in music more/deeper, or even see that it exists? I mean, if being drawn to the hiend is synonomous with being drawn to feel more beauty in music - and assumably, we get on the audiophile path to make that happen more - then how do we catalyze that to happen in people more who don't know about it?

Is it just exposure, as in marketing penetration?

Or, do people have to change themselves in order to see what we are saying?

Is it both? If so, then don't we have to orientate our marketing and educational efforts towards educating people more on the appreciation of beauty?

In a capitalistic structure geared towards pleasure, how do we get people to want meaning in music?

Can you teach someone to see the beauty of a sunset?

A quote from an above post, "being drawn to the hiend is synonomous with being drawn to feel more beauty in music". Does this mean those not involved in high end audio are not drawn to feel more beauty in music? Asa, I guess I'm questioning your use of the word synonomous.

Onhwy, "Does this mean those not involved in high end audio are not drawn to feel more beauty in music?" Reading Asa as a 3rd party, the answer is, "probably not". It doesn't follow from his words that, not using hi-end as a tool in my pursuit of beauty in music I am relinquishing that pursuit altogether. Asa's comment looks mono-valent.

Going back to the first chapter of Twl's question, I would like to idealise on how High End could be improved: if it could be offered as a SERVICE (by manufacturers & dealers). The service would be, "bringing beautiful sound to your home". This is achieved through meticulous combination of h/ware (machines, wires, etc). Following rules of personal taste, budgets, etc., of course.

The fact that there is so much discussion of h/ware combinations indicates, after all, that information is lacking from the primary sources: manufacturers & dealers...
