If you want a taste of what audiophile content can offer, d/l some Bob Dylan/Rolling Stones MP3s and compare them to the same recordings on SACD on a good system. 'She's a Rainbow' is so beautiful I'm likely to cry, and I'm not even that much of a Stones fan.
Famous Blue Raincoat - Jennifer Warnes on CD is about as good as you can get on the CD medium.
'Jazz at the Pawnshop' on SACD is nirvana.
Chesky's Ultimate Demonstration Disc is a good primer that tells you what qualities to listen for before the track, then gives you an excellent example detailing the differences between a quality recording and a mashed up mess.
And that's not even getting started on the awesome that is DSotM in 5.1.
Saying audiophiles have an expensive disease is like saying 'why pay for a steak when there's a McDonalds on every corner' or 'why buy a BMW when a Hyundai will get you from here to there just the same.'
Don't tout your lack of palate as a virtue.
