Unsound,
No offense taken here, I agree with you - but I think I need to clarify a bit.
My impression of this site is that all of us share an overwhelming appreciation for a quality recording - where ever that may fall in our individual spectrums. As a subsequent, biproduct of this passion (or for some of us I would assume a symbiotic passion) I am also interested in music as a whole.
I certainly don't enjoy listening to a poorly tranferred recording in the same way that I appreciate a flawlessly recorded piece but I do appreciate the insight offered or perhaps the general "exclusivity" of owning a particular piece of an artist who I admire, or perhaps a genre that is only alive and well in somebody's music collection.
And where quality and rarity are both the case is certainly an ideal find to say the least.
To point, I wanted to start this thread to find !Audiophiles! who feel the same way or at least had something to share along these lines, not just collectors that have a rare 8 track they found in their garage.
As far as confirming ideals of audiophile nay sayers, I haven't heard any such comments, but I would also have alot of trouble taking criticism from those who "just don't get it".
