hobbie dying?




Not in my view today more audiophiles on the earth than any time in world history. Dying sure among US boomers,brick and mortor shops which many moved to HT and mega buck charging companies but not in general. I still sell much to guys under 25. Just remember how much buying power,knowledge you had at 25. And how much you grew into your hobbie. Plus today younger folks have much cash and interest tied up in computers VG or portable music systems,unlike boomers who had less options for the entertainment $. Im sure some still will want better sound as they mature or experance it. But we are a small group compared to other hobbiests. And should never expect or want the masses to discover it;) Most folks are not wired to seek out improved sound and better music. But my kid built these speakers at 4 years old no help. My other son 21 builds amps speakers as do a few of his friends. I just set up a 22 year old with a free TT amp speakers some LPs. I bring massive horns systems to local schools so they can hear proper music played in a hi-quality way. Teachers are amazed at how quite the kids get after a few mins of music. On the school pa they get hyper. Maybe if others gave away extra kit, helped others start in the hobbie, took time out to vist schools or contribute to music programs in schools things would be better. But I never see others doing anything but complaing the hobbies dying booho. Do something about.
