Knowing what looks good, and desiring the qualities of beauty, requires a developed sense of culture.I bet most here are picky about all material products they buy, not just audio ones.
Some people are born to insist on quality, others to not care. Not care is what leads to fast food, cheap goods, lack of inspirational vision, and the decline of true industry.
