Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?

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. 

Maybe we will develop the ability to perceive sights and sounds that we can’t hear or see now, like the vibrational frequencies in all living matter- and that will be more beautiful than anything man could create....

The way things are going, our survivors will more likely be hitting stretched skins with sticks and blowing into conch shells.

Vote blue.

Mankind is unlikely to be here 200 years from now no less 2000. A soundwave doesn’t morph into something different despite strange ideas that we’ll suddenly have wireless 1000g transmission in 30 years. You need a speaker and for no loss it will still need to receive signal via a wire.
