In The Background

Presently, audiophiles read, bookmark, cite, refer to, and peruse AA. But on account (a) the flames and (b) the preponderance of the SAs, and (c) the uncalled-for personal attacks and denigration, regular audiophiles no longer post here. Instead, they email each other. For example, on any given day, an average of six different audiophiles will be in email contact with me. That has held steady, for at least 6 years.

Popular music had a rebirth in 2012. Today, due to music reaching more continents and markets, its popularity is at an all-time high. It's just not in the forms or genres SAs are used to, like, or think about.

And yes, the masses are more aware of, and have a thirst for, high-quality audio. But again, this interest is not in the forms we old school audiophiles acknowledge, understand, or are open to.

But just because you do not see as much traffic or as many posts, does not mean that AA is any less popular or useful. Everyone is simply lurking in the background, and not writing any posts.

Also note that, each year, we lose contributors due to their passing.
