Why Don't More People Love Audio?

To Macrojack:

Well said and absolutely true!!

At this point, prehaps someone should define "high End"

'Why Don't More People Love Audio?'

Do you really have to ask? Just read this forum for a few days and then try to imagine what a newbie to audio would think.

A more precise question would be; why aren't more people obsessed with audio EQUIPMENT, TWEAKS and Accessories?

Sebrof:

Yours is most likely the correct explanation. Your comparison about the televisons was right on target. I have a 20+ year old TV because there is not a lot on the tube I want to see.

what does music and emotion have to do with so-called 'high end' audio? A person can experience emotion from listening to music on a boom box or table radio. Or even just humming a tune to yourself.

'My boss has clearly stated to me "I don't like music'

Actually, this is more common among audiophiles than you might think.

Classical music is the only genre that demands high end audio systems. Timbre is everything in classical music and the 'groups' can range from a soloist to over 100 in a full blown orchestra. But, it seems to me, that the people that 'talk' about the music they like on this site, seem to lean towards small pop music groups that could and can be reproduced easily by a Bose table radio. Of course we are all guilty of 'over kill' when it comes to equipment, but thats part of the enjoyment of this hobby.
Cheers.

'Your opinion, not a fact.'

Are you suggesting that every word uttered on every post on this site is, or has to be a FACT!!! Maybe it's the way I talk. I get this alot and no one else seems to.

One of the Great Philosophical Questions Facing Mankind. Great minds have not been able to answer it. I doubt if anyone on this site will be able to provide THE answer.
