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.

A few reasons:
1. Things like the $20,000 dollar IC's specially blessed by a "spherically correct" monk in China. On the 7th day of the 7th month etc etc.....

2. High End salesman.

3. Little green pens and CD's.

4. Tice clocks.

5. Shun-ANYTHING

6. The fact that most "audiophiles" are NEVER happy with thier sound. I mean, why would you want to get into something that you spent more time tweaking than listening??
