>...the most publicly visible aspects of audiophillia have tended to reject objectivism in favor of what appears to be mystical and majik excess with a good measure of one upmanship thrown in for good measure.>
Until they hear a well set up high end stereo and experience music through it - like actually driving the Porsche to see how much fun driving can be.
Joe sixpack doesn't understand the engineering of the Porsche any better than the design, parts choice and topology of the stereo amplifier - nor do most care.
In both cases it's about the resulting emotional experience.
The mysticism, majik and one upmanship you mention are usually words used by objectivist anti-audiophile deniers, not the uninitiated.
