Is any of this a revelation? That most people don’t care about audio? We need to skower Craig’s List to discover this? And the inevitable flip side, the navel gazing by confirmed audiophiles that we somehow have lost our way, that life was better when we had cheap transistor radios? Which of any us would really trade our systems for the little taste of post war Nippon? And we already KNOW that most people listen through schlock and that they don’t care, which Is why he have joined an Internet Forum that caters to the 0.0001% that finds that unacceptable?
A real "wake up call" available to most....High End Audio vs. Mainstream......
Obviously you are familiar with AudiogoN and, likely, have a decent system. I have known this, but a great visual on what most people use for sound reproduction is a Craigslist in you area. If you have one or more market Craigslist available, check out what is for sale for "sound reproduction" on those sites. I thought I knew how bad it was, but it was beyond my imagination. But I guess that is the way it is with many things Americans buy to make noise, drive or eat at. Locally it is all under "electronics". ebay is somewhat better, but still a great deal more items you would not want vs. those you would.
In music, electronics, cars and so much more....."the road less traveled" is the best path. The poem is actually "the road not taken".
