RE: I'm An Audiophile and I Won't Apologize for It

"Don't confuse 'ego driven' with indifference."

In regard to the first group I mentioned, you're probably correct....

The indifference is due to the lack of exposure to engaging music that's either live or played back through a good system..... This exposure is IMO what got us interested in high-end audio in the first place.

"Yeah, a few pundits go out of their way to bash audiophiles, but the vast majority of rational human beings are simply indifferent to this hobby. And that's why there's not much ridicule for audiophiles to contend with. Moreover, I suspect it's this benign neglect of the hobby by the vast majority of humanity that is really the bone of contention for many audiophiles. 'Why aren't my friends and family taking **my** hobby seriously?!'"

Not arguing with you there either.... This is why people need to be interested in good music before they'll even think about being interested in high-fidelity sound reproduction.
