Well, that's another story!I can't honestly say that the audiophiles I know get more out of their music than many MP3-wielding youngsters. And as a musician myself, I can tell you that most pro and semi-pro musicians have systems that would make you cringe. Yet they hear as deeply or more so into the music than the average audiophile. And I run across few individuals that are as music-savvy as one friend of mine who uses a Sony rack system. He has no interest in pursuing "sonic nirvana" and he doesn't dig the music any more when in front of a $50K system than he does in front of his $800 one, even though he admits the "sound" is clearer. Go figure.
There is more good music available today than ever. Perhaps it's simply because there's more *music* available. We still have the 60's rock and jazz I grew up on and now we can even look back on the grunge and punk era's, the jazz fusion era, and folks like Morton Feldman who are no longer with us. I've recently discovered a whole new world of music and I've been a software collector since 1971. If I lived to be 1 million years old, I will never hope to be able to hear everything worth hearing.
I wish I had some answers for the state of audio. It seems like appliances for most people and, indeed, it's a means to an end... or should be. No matter how many people come here or how many you deal with on the boards, it's an extremely small niche group of music lovers. But I'm happy to hear that there are younger folks getting in tune with what a well thought out audio system can do for them.
