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.

Phd, look for a reviewer whose first name is Norm on StereoTimes and email me through the email address there.
Madona sounds really good on my $90 high quality table radio fed from my computer at work. In mono of course. :^}

Tbg, my system comes in arounfd $10K or so in terms of what I actually paid, a lot more at list price. It does it pretty good! I've been to many concerts and symphonies and pay close attention to what I hear. I can think of many other combos that could do it as well. Its a silly question to ask really in that its all a matter of opinion, even when its yours. Although I can say that on paper my setup has the specs to pull it off at least. Plus all my tweaks are cost effective and practical.
I hope this thread does not become yet another good example of why more people don't love audio.......
Mapman, be happy and enjoy. And you certainly are doing your best to fulfill public indifference to audio.
Tbg,

I appreciate that.

Everyone has to start someone and fulfill their own needs.

We should encourage people to not be afraid to try out the waters always as best they can, not scaring them away with talk about how hard or expensive it is. Nor by challenging whether or not they know what they are doing are not. We all can learn something along the way with that approach I think.
