How desireable can the high end be if a buyer walks into a hifi shop with his favorite CD only to have it sound like poop. So what if the dealer can put on some lame but squeeking clean sounding music like Dire Straights or Eagles.We got these dolts in this hobby, some call themselves music lovers and others call themselves audiophiles who feel it's somekind of right of passage to have an audio system that sounds bad unless they're listening to a recording they consider good. LOL! Yea the recording is good if when played the system doesn't sound bad! What a bad joke - nobody falls for that crap except the dummy sitting around listening to uninteresting but "special" recordings that sound good and suffering through every else.
Do you think anyone with little/no high fi experience would be interested in hi fi once they've heard their favorite disks sound worse than they sound on an ipod or portable? No freeking way.
Interest in high end audio will continue to dwindle and IMO it's mainly because more audiophiles know how to justify bad sounding systems* than there are audiophiles who understand how to make great sounding systems.
*because magazine told them how and convinced them it was good stuff and most everyone else has to make the sale.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
