It Ain't Necessarily So

I recently retired from a college teaching job. I have had several young people of undergrad college age recently who were very intrigued by my audio system.
One young man from China had never seen or heard a real turntable playing a real LP. He was fascinated. He came by my house at least three times while he was finishing his education to listen. We compared LPs to CDs and several different speaker and amp combinations so he could hear some of the differences that audiophiles love to discuss.
I do think it is true that most kids nowadays want it personal, portable, small and downloaded or streamed, but there are a few who are interested in conventional "stereos", collect LPs because they like physical media, cover art, etc.
