Is it possible to bring your kids into this hobby?


Join us tonight at 7 pm for our Listen Up Audio show to discuss equipment topics including sample low cost starter systems. We’ll also touch on speaker crossover basics and a trivia question around a popular 1970s speaker.

Nope.

My teen son always reminds me that, to him, his earbuds through his phone sound better than my multi-thousand dollar home system.

I'm totally ok with this.  I wouldn't wish our disease on anyone.
I have three sons.  They're all hooked on audio AND on vinyl.  Fortunately, I have enough equipment to pass them my hand-me downs - speakers, amps, pre-amps and turntables.  
All three have respectable systems. For example, one son has Elac B6 speakers, an old Technics SL-1200 turntable, and an old NAD 3020 integrated amp.  
I totally agree with @erik_squires , building something will offer an understanding of how things work, a sense of accomplishment, avoiding a pursuit of consumerism, and perhaps most importantly provide a bonding experience of doing all that together. I’m confident it will be memory not forgotten.
@erik_squires @unsound Building is the way to go! I’m building one of the Pass ACA’s with my 11 year old now and it’s a blast. He’ll have his first piece of kit and be proud of it!
