Soylent Green tastes just like chicken.
Full stop.
What do the statistics say about the age of Audiophiles and the replacement rate?
I'm unable to verify this so I'd like some guidance. I have a family member who is an authorized dealer of some really nice product lines (ARC, Magnepan, Sonus, Bryston).
He won't confirm or deny my hunch, but at his shop I see mostly older white, affluent men. I see very few middle age men and no men in their 20s. I don't keep all shop hours, but I do spend about 15 hrs./wk. there. My relative won't show me his sales demographic but I can see with my own eyes.
So my question is this: Is there an equivalent replacement stream of new blood entering the Audiophile world or not? Do you have statistical proof?
If the universe of Audiophiles (supposedly 20,000 in the lower 48) is indeed shrinking where does that leave the manufacturers and dealers?

Some people don't understand humor.the medical literature is replete in that it's helps the immune system.enjoy life and the music and yes getting old has many physilogic changes most not for pleasure in the physical body.it was a good summation when said at least I have more time for the music. Stay healthy enjoy life .projection and transference is alive and as a Physician I have experienced those that do are unhappy themselves and insecure needing to vocalize.we could have a long discussion on the mesolimbic system of the brain and it's pleasure system but again that would be boaring.stay healthy.enjoy life |
@mark200mph there are a lot of crazies here with extreme views. I would laugh at them if they weren't 1) serious 2) scary as hell. But that's pretty much X* out of 10 people not just here but in any random sample of the population. So overall I think we are a little tired of figuring out who is serious and who is joking. (That said, I don't know when I am serious either) *X>4 - troll, X=4 realist, X=0 - crazy |
