i mean besides; water systems, sewage systems, roads, order, .... i love that line!...

but i do have to say HPs speach gave me some great deep thinking and concerns about the future and direction of high end audio, in combo with what i ran into in a lot of the rooms. to me i just want a system that refects real music, and gets me excited about the music to the point where i forget about the system. to me it seems that way too many systems presented by the high end advoid this and sound way too "hi-fi" like for my tastes, they dont sound anything close to real, let alone get me involved in the music. and speaking of the music, get sick of the same old hi-fi tracks; jazz with 3 or less instruments or special effects whatever, i mean does anyone really listen to this stuff at home? (when no one else is looking?). however there were a few good rooms with some good music in all fairness.

but now the real problem, it seems that the high end is starting to levitate higher and higher above the earth, soon we will not be able to reach it, let alone hear it. some of this is not new, but count how many people you see at high end audio that are under 50 or even new to the hobby, we NEED to get new life into it, and very SOON! way too much focus on "soundstage", speakers with freq response tilted towards to high end (older men loose high freq hearing), fancy looks, sky is the limit prices, and so on. i think the industry needs to promote itself to the general public somehow, and get away from falling deeper into Harry Potter lauguage and strangeness before no non-audiophile will talk to us again...
Give me analog or give me silence!
