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

1. cost
2. weirdness of people and gear
3. low priority in life
4. few available places to hear good stuff
5. lack of time / inclination
6. 4/5 work out to 'exposure'

Over the years, I've gobsmacked a few people, but few advanced past whatever nutty stuff they already owned.
My down the street neighbor has a gigantic record collection including bunches of signed albums and multiple unopened copies. He uses a record grinder out in his garage. When he heard my system he shut up and listened for 20 minutes...until his spouse 'paged' him. When I told him how much even a Rega P3 goes for? Sorry!
I didn't add it up, but I'll bet a satisfactory all-vinyl system with small powered speakers, a good TT and preamp could be had for <1400? How much than?
Too much is never enough
