I'm sorry to hear this BoCo. It comes down to a matter of personal appreciation for audio. For some, adequate audio can be had out of a boombox. For others, such as myself (although I am not yet ready to classify myself as an audiophile, but I do strive to learn more every day), we desire a truer sound. The path to one's "perfect sound" is one full of trial and error, upgrades, tweaks, and a billion other things to try to scrape out just a bit more accuracy. Maybe you've ran into the "snobby" sort of audiophile that would look down on someone with less acute ears, but they're mostly just normal people. We all have our standards.

Its very similar to photography: once you get an eye for proper color balance, white balance, composition, angle, view, contrast, etc, you will see things that make great photos. So what's difference between an audiophile and a photophile? People have respect for the photophile.
