Why Don't More People Love Audio?

No boob, neither real nor synthetic, could be as insightful and gracious as you Agonanon...anonanon ; )

Can you imagine the amount of time and hard work that audiophiles put into ,listening, tweaking, auditioning, selecting, upgrading, comparing and start all over again? If we had spent that much time trying to make money we all would be much richer than we are today! But, then, we would not know what audio gear to buy.

No regrets having spent all the time doing what I mentioned in my first paragraph. Its has made my life fun to live!

I have a few friends who are very rich and have come over to listen to my humble setup, they actually spent a lot more on their audio gear but not able to enjoy it. Money can buy good quality HIFI but but it cannot produce good sound on its own. Even after spending a lot of it you still need to put in your effort to make it sound right.

Its an art and science at the same time and not many people understand it well. I am still trying to understand it after spending good 30 years into this hobby.

Happy listening!

It's an art.. An art of perfection for many audiophiles. With art, not everyone's going to like it - nor have the ear for it.

Then again like many before me.. you can't take your (let's say $70k) audio system around to show-off. It's an internal thing, a natural state of high that people seek out (at all costs!)

Some people are more tuned towards other things/hobbies for their own motives. For me, I can't live without my high-end audiophile reproduction ability.. It's a choice. I'll no longer exist without music.

Either you love it or ya don't...different people's brains are wired differently. Those that emit endorphins while listening to 'beautiful' music become audiophiles. To others the TV does more for them....

The equation between high-end audio equipment and loving music is absurd. No more, no less. Many people love music, a good number even make music for a living, and don't give a fiddler's fart about high-end audio equipment. Many people with a mega bucks system wouldn't know a flatted fifth from a whole in the wall. Try again. Good day.
