Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?


Imagine audio technology in 2,000 years.

Maybe your stereo is the size of a deck of cards. Speakers are invisible. Cables are not used. Active room treatment built into the walls.

Is that the end of our hobby and fascination with audio gear? 
Is our identity in the big blocks of metal and wood? What happens to us?
Best,

LOL Millercarbon...
I remember a video from Paul McGowan on YouTube sometime in the past couple months stating that we are at around 50-60% toward perfect sound and that in the next 20-30 years there should be some advancements that get us most of the way there. Paul says his company is working on some radical/revolutionary ideas that he can't talk about yet and that we should stay tuned...
Just like electric fireplaces, if and when tubes become obsolete, there'll be something made so you can have them glow beside your favorite listening chair. You'll be able to get it at touchofmodern.com
