In Reply to: Can the industry return to the glory years? First off, posted by tinear on April 23, 2014 at 08:51:31:
High End Audio has to make it with the kids or it will continue to shrink. It is shrinking because it is irrelevant- for the most part kids don't care.
What I find odd about this is that kids do seem to care if they get the right exposure. But apparently that exposure is rare and that is entirely the fault of high end's tendency to sequester itself; being unable to go out and get a date :)
We have been active in the local music scene for years and so have developed a reputation in town with kids in the music scene. I do find in interesting that here in town if you are in a band and are making a recording, LPs tend to be the preferred medium. Not CD, not mp3, but LP. But at every show I have been to where there was a band from out of town, the band has had vinyl with them for sale on the merch table. So its not just a local phenomena. There is something to that- a way for high end audio to be relevant again. Just say'n.
