Why Don't More People Love Audio?

what does music and emotion have to do with so-called 'high end' audio? A person can experience emotion from listening to music on a boom box or table radio. Or even just humming a tune to yourself.

one can analyze the question until the cows come in , but there is an obvious answer.

people have different tastes. some like boats, expensive cars, art objects, etc. . those who are passionate about a particular hobby, may have no interest in another.

time is also a consideration. if someone is involved in other pursuits, there may be no time left for another hobby which is time consuming

think of a persons's available leisure time as a pie. the pie is divided into slices. each slice may represent a desired activity. for some, audio is not a desirable activity because other interests will supersede it.

it's just a matter of priorities.

Has anything changed in the 12 years since this thread was started?

Judging by how many posts this thread has received, I think many people do love audio.

And that's cool...strength in numbers is key. but let's make our voices heard!
