Why Don't More People Love Audio?

It's simply a matter of preference and resource allocation.
The same can be said of anything.
Why don't more people love yoga?
Why don't more people love French cuisine?
Why don't more people love hunting?
Everyone can't love everything.

I've talked to number of my friends that love music and it's simply that they have other things that they are more involved. Many see it as a bit obsessive as well. Many have heard really nice systems and can appreciate the hobby but still don't feel the need to be that involved. These are people I go to plenty of concerts with and talk music with. They simply have other interests or varied interests. These days most people don't have the time to have more than one hobby.

Raytheprinter if you live and breath audio it can be hard to keep them demons at bay but the common interest is music and I don't any longer get anal about buying or trying audio gear like I used to. I think Audiogon has actually helped me in this arena by giving myself and others the ability to sample many different products and reselling to try something else.

Yes must be careful about some tweaks and ask yourself does the cost justify the means. The fools are the ones that leap before looking.

Mapman, yes, audiophiles and some people will call them audiofools, I know I been there.

Audiophile has a lot of baggage. I prefer music lover. Except some audiophile is likely to dissect what even that means to bits. You just can't win. Better off just listening than talking about it maybe. 😖
