Why Don't More People Love Audio?

you can love music but employ a medium that is very inexpensive, not "audiophile" quality" and still derive immense pleasure from listening.

there was a study in stereophile years ago that found that satisfaction from listening to music had a low correlation with the quality of sound.

i believe that the above-mentioned study is one explanation for the paucity of audiophiles.

by the way, the law of the golden mean is also a concept found in philosophical writings.

hi nsgarch:

i was not alluding to the golden rule. it bears no relevance to my comments. i am well aware of the fibonacci series. i was a math major.

the Golden Rule states that he who has the gold makes the rules

Lrsky - I completely agree with your post. I think TV is to blame. It is a time suck that has reduced interest in all sorts of hobbies. Audio/music is affected but isn't an isolated case.

Lrsky and Jult52, I agree as well. I did away with TV years ago. It is a brainwashing and dumbing-down tool. The movie Network, where the masses were throwing their TV' out the windows..."I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!"
