I've been in the real estate business for 38 years, so you can imagine how many homes I've been into. During the busy seasons I'm into up to 50 homes a week. It has always amazed me how many homes ... and its the majority, that have NO books and NO music. They live a life as shallow as their flat screen TVs. Taking my books and music away would be like chopping off my right and left arms. I guess its just the way America is these days.
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.
