The *hobbyists* are very similar. Videophiles think of their system along similar lines as audiophiles think of theirs. I've noticed with the fast growth of the HT/video industry, quite a few audiophiles are becoming videophiles.

Yes, you can say that a crazy hobbyists exist in every field, that is true, but still there are different hobbies that address different parts of the brain. One can be a crazy foodball nut, or a book worm, and those who, while sharing passion, do not do similar things to the "nut" brain.It is not elitism to suggest that love of images is lower on totem pole than appreciation of sounds, as the sounds always mean more brain processing, while the images go immediately to the spinal cord, if you will.
That is why people are so easily hooked on images, witness multiple TV's in every home, with sounds always playing much more modest role.
Movies represent an interesting case. They start dangerously close to flickering images, but the good ones quickly evolve into cerebral exercise, where images begin to play secondary role, and other attributes take importance... hence my soft disdain for image quailty in movies.
