RE: very few people have this genetic predisposition

75.60.18.28

but if something is keeping the few who might from becoming audiophiles here's my guess as to the reasons

1. No exposure to good sounding systems in good sounding rooms at sane prices.

2. Lack of mainstream music that will sound any better on a good system than on a bad one.

3. Wives are completely dominant in the home and they won't allow anything that they don't like the looks of.


Nobody knows what to do about it. I think stores need to figure out a way to go on the road and expose people to significantly better than usual audio. I don't know how it would be done. Maybe find a somewhat quiet place near an event where the music being played would benefit from some good stereo stuff. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback but it seems the average audio shop owner is about 90 years old and longing for the sweet embrace of the grave. They can't afford to retire so we're gonna have to wait for them to die. Maybe the next generation will have the energy to figure out what to do. Does that sound cold?
