There is very little about your post that I take issue with. Your comment about "spending money on a new hip rather a new pair of loudspeaker" is one of the funniest lines I have ever read on AA.
Only my sense of integrity would prevent me from claiming authorship when I use it. I am obligated to give credit to you.
As I make my yearly trek to the CES (over 30 years), various audio shows and the local audiophile society, I am struck with how old most of the attendees are. Of course, I'm the only one who hasn't aged. Only all the others.
Along with this, I see a diminishing number of B&M stores and I find this fact a bit sad but not
all together depressing. Why? I find the overall quality of audio gear steadily evolving. There is no shortage of software whether it be digital or analogue and I have friends to share my passion even though my wife couldn't care less accept for the aesthetics of the gear.
Sure jazz is not near as popular now as it was in the 50s and 60s. I used to go to Shelley's Manhole in Hollywood where I saw Astrid Gilberto and Stan Getz perform amongst others. But the good thing is I can still readily purchase recording from that era and often from higher resolution sources than the original. I am a big fan of SACD and high rez on computer audio if I can ever figure out how to get mine to work.
One last thing, I assume that Wilson Audio is still doing well but their mega buck speakers will never appeal or be affordable to the "look what the cat dragged in" crowd. That will have to be left to old geezers like me.
