can this fact be accurate?


on a blog I read that there are 100,000 high end audiophiles out there. not sure if the author meant worldwide or in the u.s.a. if this is true the pie must get sliced pretty thin for manufacturers. any demographic sites out there that anyone knows about?

That number seems to be a mite bit low, say by a factor of 10 or so, worldwide, IMHO. I believe it all depends on how the question is defined and what the folks asked perceive to be an 'audiophile'.

Way too many variables to consider.

My friends and family think I'm half in the tank with this hobby and I am, and always have been, doing this half heartedly: its just that I enjoy listening so much that it requires delving into the audiophile bog. It's become more of an academic adventure for the layman in me. Yet, I would answer in the affirmative.
