Good points. Few are even aware of the availability of high-end audio. Of course just about everyone is aware of Rolex.Then, to make it worse, if someone ventures into high-end audio, we confuse the he,, out of them with $4000 speaker cables, cryogenic frozen CDs, DVDA vs. SACD. I've exposed more than a few people to our passion only to have them tell me a few weeks later that they concluded A) we were all nuts, or B) it was just to confusing for them to want to spend their time.
