Why Don't More People Love Audio?

Bipolars tend to get lost and carried away in the music. Upgrade on a whim for a fleeting perception of hearing something better. Hi end audio would not be the same without them.

People that love audio love it because the sounds stimulate a specific part of the brain and we find it pleasurable. Non audiophiles just dont get the same amount of stimulation. It is known that some people with bipolar disorder can derive more pleasure from audio. Actress Margo Kidder (Lois Lane from 76 Superman)in an interview on 20/20 talked about her bipolar disorder. She says a regular person hears Beethoven's 5th and likes it. A bipolar could experience rapture. Interesting from her perspective. Not all audiophiles are bipolar. It does point to our brains and how they are hardwired. Each and everyone of us is unique. That was the biological factor. Now for the environmetal factor. Take someone that grew up in a musical family. Maybe the exposure to all that music made them take an interest in music or maybe the childs brain is hardwired like their parents. There's your answers. Again im not saying that all audiophiles are crazy. Maybe the ones that make 50k a year and have aqcuired a 100k system over the years. That would be kinda extreme but to them maybe not. They just love music! Audiophiles just experience more pleasure from sounds than another person would because of the way their (our) brains are made or developed.
