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


Traffic is very low today vs 2000!

Are most audiophiles "set" with their systems, and no longer care?

Are 90% of audiophiles close to retirement, or retired and broke?

Most older "classic" audio equipment also does not show up for sale anymore IMO.

OK Coil, I'll bite. I'm with Mapman here, what exactly is this $80.00  active monitor that blows away 1000 dollars audio systems. Find it hard to believe, so do tell.
Sorry, I still got like $8000+ worth of audiophile equips that I need to sell. So not going to say what it is. But here's a freebie since I sold all my audiophile DACs already. The TASCAM UH-7000 is an unbelievable value. Beats multiple $3000+ audiophile DACs...
I believe you coli ! As much as it would be nice to spread the word , not much worth shouting from the rooftops on this site though . I have a macmini i use ,so usb is my only connection i can used . Picked up this thing called a Duet2 by Apogee . It is a usb interface . i do not even know everything it is intended for but it works as a dac / volume controller . Absolute transparency . Every amp /speaker i use it on has limitless power/ volume attenuation . I am afraid to test the limits of volume before distortion as i know i will blow up something .And sounds better than any multi thousand preamp or dacs i have used in the past . Picked it up for $300 on craigslist . Pretty cool .
Ah, to be a fly on the wall during some of these magical sonic experiences....one person's nirvana is another's nails on a chalk board!  If we are going to pretend to have exceptional sound then please site the recordings used and describe what you are hearing in detail.
