Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system.
IEMs, headphones, streaming by phone...if someone even listens at all.
How can we as enthusiasts in this hobby get people interested in a more traditional 2 channel stereo setup using speakers and associated gear?
Even cheaper ChiFi sounds pretty good compared to what some of us had when we first started but it doesn't take a fortune to build nice sounding systems that work well and can be enjoyed for many years.
What can we do to support this hobby, its gear manufacturers and promote physical media too although many may prefer streaming?
Essentially, promoting a gateway into the hobby as well as a pathway for growth and upgrading over the long term?
Dude, we are the last generation, a dying breed. To paraphrase Clark Gable, no one gives a damn anymore. Well, a few of us do, enough well heeled ones that engineers feel it’s worth their while to design $600,000 speaker pairs. But I digress. What was I saying? Anything important? Follow the yellow brick road…. |

Agree with what's been said. Most people just don't care. I've had some non audio nuts hear my rig, and while they thought it was cool, they still choose to stream compressed media by Bluetooth to a portable speaker. People just don't care. My wife is perfectly happy blaring you tube music vids out of her phone speaker sounding like a kazoo. |
Thanks @larsman . My fervent hope is that people pay more attention to the things that actually matter most and stop allowing politicians to distract them from their own best interests. |
