@danielduryea Thanks for writing my biography. A simpler explanation is many people bereft of good or even acceptable audio choose the Vette or the fifth-wheel or the upgraded tooth whitening instead. Quality audio can be expensive and it also comes with a learning/growth curve which means many will walk away without a second look. Also we have the deniers who actively oppose the high end community. Most people like music, can't trust people who don't, but not many love music to the point they will push it to the front of discretionary spending. As for the handheld radio, any music is better than no music and if worrying about your 'big' system is taking away from the pleasure of listening, the radio might be just what is needed.
A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream......
Obviously you are familiar with AudiogoN and, likely, have a decent system. I have known this, but a great visual on what most people use for sound reproduction is a Craigslist in you area. If you have one or more market Craigslist available, check out what is for sale for "sound reproduction" on those sites. I thought I knew how bad it was, but it was beyond my imagination. But I guess that is the way it is with many things Americans buy to make noise, drive or eat at. Locally it is all under "electronics". ebay is somewhat better, but still a great deal more items you would not want vs. those you would.
In music, electronics, cars and so much more....."the road less traveled" is the best path. The poem is actually "the road not taken".
