I wouldn't say tin ears. You're talking two very different applications and that really is a sweeping generalization anyway. I've been active in home theater for over 15 years and believe me, most "videophiles" are every bit as concerned with quality audio reproduction as they are with video. The two are not mutually exclusive. In fact they are absolutely intertwined. I'll tell you this - uncompressed 5.1 channel linear PCM audio from a well mastered Blu-ray soundtrack sounds effing phenomenal through my Onkyo TX-SR805 receiver being fed by a PS3. Uncompressed DTS-HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD are no slouches either.
