Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ?

"P.S. I think headphone use is going to give us an entire generation of premature deafness"

That will happen only if you listen too loud and too long.  Some people are prone to listening at high volume (whether speakers or phones are in play).  It's not the only way to listen.  Club levels are not always musical and are not always safe so don't try to reproduce that sound.

geoffkait, 3k is one man's preamp, another's total mid-fi budget, and yet another's mere upgrade, wouldn't you say?

several of you guys around here are "high".

Jayant, extremely, in my case! Extremely Hi-Fi.

Happy Listening!
