Why Don't More People Love Audio?

Tbg,
A very succinct observation. I agree.

Well, audio is too often a lonely and solitary hobby.This goes against human nature as man is a social animal. This is the reason why audio clubs/societies exist. To get together with like minded people and socialize. As the founder of an audio club here in Las Vegas, every meeting has been a blast. I understand some audiophiles are socially awkward, but that shouldn't stop them from interacting with fellow audiophiles either in person or here on the internet. Anyway, if you're in the Vegas area and would like to join the club, go to our blog and check it out. Our contact info is on there. It's free to join and there's no rankings at the moment. We're gonna have a guest speaker in December, so you don't really wanna miss it.

A guy at work that Makes very decent money,was saying how he could not wait until he got his tax refund . He was going to buy a killer HT system,,,,,,,So I start talking to him .I got around to asking how much he planned on spending,,,the answer,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,300.00 or so !!!

Raytheprinter, was he serious? Even when I first got into audio in the late '50s $300 would not have bought a system or even kits to make one.

Probably more people than ever love audio these days.

Most of them are loving it using portable devices and earphones and ear buds that already sound far better than most similar fairly inexpensive audio devices of years past.

After that there are those enjoying it on their home A/V systems, not to mention in their cars

Then there is everyone else.
