«40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!»

Our descendants will inherit our systems and wonder where it has been all their live, when it was at Grandpa's house all along.

Perhaps unintentional but I found this thread one of the most enlightening ever posted on this forum. I was amazed by how many post were relatable to my situation. I have no idea what my wife will do with my system when I get unplugged however I plan to enjoy it everyday until my batteries expire. 

My optimally well done system cost peanuts...

I cannot sell "acoustic knowledge" and cannot even give it in legacy...

I am not really an audiophile. I studied and experiment to learn how to make the best with any relatively good piece of gear...

I listen music right now and forgot my system ....

@smodking1 - My thoughts are that manufacturers of products that appeal to a tiny niche, which is what audiophile gear is in the grand scheme of things, would be wasting incredible amounts of money advertising in high-profile, general purpose magazines like People or Sports Illustrated, and ads in those publications dwarf the price of ads in niche high-fi publications. 

The audiophiles may soon be a thing of the past.How many of you know of anyone in their teens,or twentys,with a stereo system?If the music isn't on their phone,they are not interested.
