| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Mapman, yes, audiophiles and some people will call them audiofools, I know I been there. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Raytheprinter if you live and breath audio it can be hard to keep them demons at bay but the common interest is music and I don't any longer get anal about buying or trying audio gear like I used to. I think Audiogon has actually helped me in this... | |
