Why Don't More People Love Audio?

more people love music than the configuration of stereo systems to attain quality of sound. its obvious why.

the natural inclination of human beings is laziness. quality is sacrificed for convenience.

moreover, sound quality , for many does not enhance the enjoyment of listening to music.

the message of the music and the emotional content can be communicated using any medium.

the reason is intrinsic to the psychology governing human behavior.

Why don't more people shop at Nordstrom?

Last time I walked through Nordstrom (they have convenient parking to access the Mall) they had a sale rack of mens denim jeans with the standard designer-cut holes etc, but with added white house paint dribbles.
Perhaps faux blood smearings would have been more trendy, hence salable.

FWIW, I think that it is determined by your personal history. If you grew up loving music and listening to it on a decent stereo through good speakers or headphones, then you realize that your experience can be enhanced through better equipment as electronics have evolved. You then allocate some time to seeking the best equipment you can afford because its important to you. An analogy would be that you grew up liking cars, so today you are driving or lusting after that Porsche or Ferrari. Its not rocket science, but if you have a passion for something and the means to afford it, you pursue it.

That make sense...the only thing I have to add is it's a drive to get closer to the music, and approximate the tonal quality of real instruments, providing the recording allows it! A great system allows you to do that, imo.
