is there a possibility


that the elitism associated with our hobby has something to do with this? ;>) Just wondering, because most of my old buddies from college act like they'd rather get a root canal than go through the process of selecting a good high-end system.

Speaking as a manufacturer and a distributor, we're absolutely going to have to adjust to the download generation. I recently heard that Linn's offering real 24/96 downloads from their website that sound great. In a perfect world all the major labels would follow suit. You're not going to get the downloaders to buy SACDs and DVD-As...we know that. But you *might* get them to buy their favorite music at a premium...especially now that storage space is ridiculously cheap. Once that happens, the opportunity for selling them better audio gear is available.
