Are You Happy?

On another currently running post a number of people have commented that the majority of their digital music collection is unlistenable. One person said 90% falls into this category. I don't get it! Have these people purposely assembled systems to make their favorite albums sound bad? Do they sit and audition equipment while thinking to themselves "hey, this is great, I won't be able to listen any of my Rolling Stones, but wow does it sound good." Why would someone do this to themselves?

As audiophile we are all a little crazy, but these people, IMHO, have gone one step beyond. Please help me to understand what's going on?

I have about $3000 in hardware and a similar amount in software. I'd say 80% sounds good, 10% sounds amazing and 5% not so good and 5% unlistenable.

For once I'm glad I don't have more money. Sounds like it makes people really unhappy with their systems. This seems to spill over into the threads on Agon.
