How large (or small) is the audiophile market?


Just curious, how big is the total market for audiophile hardware?  There seem to be a lot of manufactures vying for a a small pool of potential buyers.  I've read in places that as boomers age the market is shrinking.  I don't know very many young people, but none that i do know are into it.  Anyone have any idea what the total market size is?

Choueiri....Chouerie...Choueiri all day long...but, never ever heard a BACCH processor.

 

 

I will not add to the lies and insults of deep 33

 

I will only correct one of  his false claims about me...

Dr. Choueiri is a physicist and acoustician who publishes articles in acoustics...

I discovered him reading his articles few years ago...

 He do not SELL gear as a means of living by the way ...

He is not a reviewer...

 He is a scientist and i recommended multiple times since few years his articles which helped me figure out audio as well as Floyd Toole and Dr. Gorike...

Nobody need to hear his BACCH system to read science and learn why  he is a genius in  acoustics as was Dr. Gorike the founder of AKG ...

If you doubt my words read all the posts of insults of deep33 since a year anytime i spoke in a post...

He mocked me without stop when i said i tuned my resonators by ears...( he seems to think it is impossible)

He attacked me with a flow of insults when i discussed with Amir ( A very polite  person) about  what is Timbre  he throwed insults at me  with  no arguments about the acoustics concepts under discussion...

i never insulted him...I even congratulated him in the beginning...He has a bad memory unlike me...

But as i do right now i ANSWER and correct him and i will answer any other person  who go with ad hominem attack...It is why i dont need to be defended i can do it myself with reason...

 Dont trust me, track his posts insults  count against me and count the times he gave me a rational argument...

 

 I never spoke to the audiogon staff about anybody here by the way ... Even when one here accuse me of murder... 

You can ask Tammy...

I never need anybody to defend me...

 As many knows i wrote posts myself and i dont lack rational arguments...

Ad hominem attack is a tool for narrow brain...

 

 

 

 

You posts attacks are so thin and of bad faith i will not answer each one...

You call me a narcissist because you dont have argument...

 You are the one twisting my post above and my sentence and distorting them of their intention  to make a point and present it as an insult to all audiophiles, as it is clear that being an audiophile myself i crossed the same crossroad as everybody... 

 

Gear matter for sure...

But  acoustics matter way more  than the choice between  relatively good basic pieces of gear...

 

Most dont want to know this simple truth,

 

What makes you the determinator of what is truth and what is not?

 

 

Guess what are the objective facts in audio science ?

It is acoustics  research which is the truth...( not mere room acoustic as most thought about when they see the word "acoustic")

 Read Edgar Choueiri about sound...

Before upgrading...

And i dont  merely and mainly recommend to buy a piece of gear here like  the other lying clown suggested falsely  to disparage my point ... i recommend his science papers articles and videos to understand some acoustics truth...

 

 

 
 

 

 

You are not ashamed to be  so bad faith in front of everybody?

I will if i was in your shoes...

 

They dont buy quartz to ground their gear homemade.... They bought costlier product...cool

 

And your point is?

You judge and smirk at people coolwho do not live the way you think is correct?

 

here you cut my post from his thread context: What is the most underestimated fact in audio ?

 

Then you arrange the post truncating it from his context to make it as if i had disparaged everybody instead of recommending to pay attention to the grounding process : grounding each piece of gear rightfully...

I proposed cheap method to do it with only quartz or others minerals, for 10 years now, so what ?

 

 I dont think that attacking someone as "narcissist" after truncating his  posts and stripping them from their context distorting my intention is a wise and intelligent way of doing thing... 

 cool
