RE: What's keeping more people from becoming audiophiles?

They people (non-audiophiles) who have all heard my system, are floored by it, highly impressed, but ... later ... almost everyone get stuck some where along the path - oh I'm looking forward to building/buying something similar. One I have to say (which is contrary to most audiophile standards .. is the age 35 +/- 5 years)
The people who I think are potentials get stuck with the cost. Most do not understand the $$$$$$ amount people spend to replicate music (which itself is crazy). I recently recommended the dragonfly DAC with a set of potential headphone for someone I thought was about to take the plunge, but he just backed off even with a meager (by audiophile standards) $250 for that device.
I guess one has to be driven enough to get into the "system"

Cheers,VJ
