"Young Americans," or "goal for the majority," are both funny to me. It's a fact that audio geeks are a tiny minority and have been for years. Sure, people used to own stereos therefore supporting retail shops, but people also used to huddle around little radios to listen to Dark Shadows...things change, hobbies are just that...the fact that this hobby is fun for some and ignored by most is a simple reality we live in and "that's the way it is."
What happened to all the highend stereo shops
What happened to high end stereo shops I mean real high-end stereo shops. I am 78, my father bought me my first stereo when I was 12, I have been hooked ever since. I remember the days when you can go to a nice audio store and not just audition what they had in the store but if you saw a couple of tuners, preamps or some cables that you liked, you could give them a blank check and take the equipment home to audition on your system. Bring one or both back Pay for what you want to keep or get your check back. I don’t understand how someone can buy an expensive piece of audio equipment and not audition it in their system first. Many places today, you buy it and your stuck with it. OH yes you can sell it on Audiogon or eBay. Reviewers are nice and give good reviews but the problem I have is the equipment they are auditioning is on their system in their treated music room which is going to be different than what you have.

@crlambert you need help |
@crlambert While I'm not sure what led to your irrational outburst, what is it you fear from the group you disparaged above. It certainly isn't relevant to the discussion nor is it relevant to a society made up of different individuals with different views. With that said, I happen to love jazz...and I'm grateful for Billy Strayhorn or Bill Evans or the countless wonderful artists who have come along over the years and elevated my musical enjoyment. Regardless of who they happen to love. |
@crlambert Can we call you a bigot? Are you prejudiced against the working class poor?This forum is no place for this disparagement! |
