I didn't want the first reply to be negative, but it has been a couple days with no replies, so...
...no. I'm the opposite of you. I really like music, but I'm not that concerned about my hardware. Most of my listening is in my car, with an iPod going through my speakers. At home, I have a Bose system; audiophiles would laugh at me, but I think it sounds pretty good, and it doesn't visually dominate my living room.
I don't really care if I hear each finger touching the strings; I just want to hear the emotion of the piece, the quality of the lyrics, etc.
It often seems to me that the pure audiophiles are more interested in the reproduction of the music that the music itself.
