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.

Agonanon provides in real time, the main reason why people may not like audio. It is Frasier.
No boob, neither real nor synthetic, could be as insightful and gracious as you Agonanon...anonanon ; )
The audio industry has created a very toxic, noncredible environment with hyped, overpriced, gimicky equipment. The more high-end the audio store, the more pompous and arrogant the salesman...do audiophiles really like quality sound or knowing that there equipment is the newest and best? hmm...
