True. But people like us, who spend far too much time on internet forums, represent a tiny part of the market, at best.We should all in these fora consider ourselves audiophiles. An audiopphile is someone who seeks high quality music playback at home. Yes there are people who lust for equipment, continually discuss specs, only listen to test tracks, and so on. That characteristic is not the definition of an audiophile and it’s also present in other hobbies.
Having said that, there are audiophiles who aspire to more than reasonable quality playback and mostly care for sound quality and not features. I am one of those.
