Musically, I have never been an audiophile. I don't listen to

jazz. I've tried. It just doesn't work for me. I don't criticize those who enjoy it though. For me, female vocals consist of Sass Jordon, Nancy Wilson of Heart and Dale Krantz (Rossington Collins). OH, Janis too. But the stuff they play to show off their systems at the audio shows is pretty much blah to me. Is it any wonder that audiophilia is almost dead?

Most people listen to pop music. Make it sound good via a good system and show it at the shows and maybe audiophilia may survive. but then the cost factor comes in. many are glad to listen to 256kbps music over crappy headsets. They don't know that much of the music is missing. They don't know they are even missing anything. And with so many toys to buy, the $$$ for a good system is scarce and even non existent.

OK. i'll put away the soapbox now.
