I'm not sticking up for Andrew Robinson but he related a story about audio snobbery in the old days when you'd walk in to listen to something and how it compared to buying his first Ferrari as a youngster and being treated like a nobody because of his age and the way he dressed. 

If you're going to insult someone, know that someone.

All the best,

Younger less wealthy folks better get with the program and help boost the hi end stuff that increasingly  fewer neither want nor can afford.

Dear sir or madam, I’m completely baffled by your comments. Could you kindly elucidate? Thank you.

I dont think that Fosi will die for example ...

Fosi Audio is not low-fi. Some of their stuff is probably hifi-ish

And why would it die? They probably have hundreds of thousands of buyers worldwide because of the low price.

It’s the vulture priced crap that never sells... All kinds of covert marketing tricks  need to be deployed constantly on these type of forums to make a sale.

 

@curiousjim The militaries and autocrats are doing their best to make it so.

I seriously doubt the world will come to an end in 2025
