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.

When someone checks out sites like audiogon,, they like what they see,,hmmm ,seems like a great hobby! Then they discover the,,, snake oil side of this hobby,and start to wonder about the sanity of the audiophile.As well as ,is this for real or a joke! Some of the stuff sold in the tweak section will have the average person shaking their head in disbelief,,,,or thinking we audiophiles are a bunch of fools.
