I DO look down upon those for whom MP3 is good enough. Many have never heard a good hi-fi system. Yet, in our priveledged society, I find it impossible to believe that people are unaware quality sound reproduction exists.
On mentioning being into high fidelity, I've been chastized by some who remember mono being the only choice. "Haven't you heard, girl, they invented a thing called stereo." They've heard stereo, and maybe surround, too. But they wouldn't know HIGH FIDELITY if it bit them in the ASS!!
And we wonder why a viable Quad/surround format is SO elusive, at least from a marketing standpoint. Let's face it, people dig pink slime.

And it does all come back to MP3 because, hey, that is the standard now. I just find it wholly inadequate on my sound system at home. I don't look down upon those who do and for whom MP3 is good enough.
