Why Don't More People Love Audio?

Can anyone explain why high end audio seems to be forever stuck as a cottage industry? Why do my rich friends who absolutely have to have the BEST of everything and wouldn't be caught dead without expensive clothes, watch, car, home, furniture etc. settle for cheap mass produced components stuck away in a closet somewhere? I can hardly afford to go out to dinner, but I wouldn't dream of spending any less on audio or music.

I can put together a system that sounds as real as a symphony orchestra in full cry for 10K .
A jazz trio for half that.
Madonna for a hundred bucks.

Schubert, obviously you have never been to a live concert or heard a jazz trio live. Basically, I know full well that you lie.

TBG, that is interesting that you still possess the H-Cat, that was an interesting thread in itself. Definitely would love to hear your system in Texas, my sister lives there and have been to Texas one time at Fort Worth many years ago, parents were stationed there.

Your cabling and grounding units, making up half the cost of your system, seems like a sound investment and it may not be that uncommon but I personally cannot make that same claim but do recognize the importance of these investments in sound quality.
