What do the statistics say about the age of Audiophiles and the replacement rate?

+1

We're going the way of stamp collectors

Not a lot of fun things about getting old but one of them is having much more time now to enjoy the music. 
on the other hand, I make it a point not to watch reruns of Soylent Green anymore

You are what you eat!

@thecarpathian *L* Your aside to @mark200mph above this could be applied to the bulk of us, if not in progress already.....🙄😏 And looking into a mirror doesn’t tell one more than they already know....

After 5ish decades of my own transits of the audio planes I ’white-flagged’ the SOTA pursuit after about 3ish of that ’long strange trip’ that only created some extra pressures on credit limits.
As my ears dulled on the above 2~3K range, it became more obvious I could do as well with the less extreme and be happy about it. Paying more attention to the pleasure of listening to that which I enjoyed rather than how much additional ’clarity’ could be discerned by failing ears and tinnitus....

A few years back, I finally capitulated and got hearing aids..." A Mac for my head v. the shelf..." and priced somewhat as such. It made a substantial difference, and relit the urge to follow through with my Walsh/omni/diy efforts.

Since as a statistical cypher in the later part of the ’Boomer Blot, BoHo subdivided segment of the Human Heap, it was queried of self what I wanted to do with what may prove to be my last decade of the daily dose of our shared and unshared realities.....

Well...other than ’getting loaded and having a good time.’.... Ask the same question...one more time...

Turn up the subs a tad...
