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.

There is a very clear distinction with the things you mentioned VS audio.

Audio is a self journey, A commitment. An internal experience.

Vs the things you mentioned, expensive watch, cars, homes. These are external things and can be showed off. Lots of people get the pleasure of letting others know they're wealthy. It's the same pleasure we get when listening to music but achieved in completely different ways.
