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


Interesting video of Jay's audio lab reflections about the audiophile world:

you cant take him seriously he pulls up a graph of the age groups who watch his Chanel obviously they are going to be older people who can afford his products.

most younger audiophiles are interested in streaming loud speakers and systems and headphones all these products   t are way less expensive then the ultra high end products jay reviews

I did not watch the video.

20 years ago, we were waiting for SACD to die. Now we are waiting for audiophiles to die? Not complaining - but SACD/DSD did not die. So hoping the same for this hobby as well.

Probably there are a a lot of younger folks who do not like to post here because of the "old world" biases that they might not like. And I don't blame them. Folks here keep dissing Class D Vs AB Vs tubes, Analog Vs Digital, etc. So, I would not really care for anything about audiophiles dying. We all will die one day - just enjoy what you have now.

I am not worry about audiophile country population...

I dont give a damn...

But i like Jay as human...

Myself my system cost 1000 bucks speakers+ headphone and i am not envious one second about any Jay's gear pieces...

Acoustics rule...

I posted this because it is a reflection about a change in society...

i dont think we will think a lot about audio this year...

 

 

Listening Jay video i realize how much we are different...

He said that he enjoy visual cues because in the dim light music can become boring. He said that visual cue are more powerful than sound.

I prefer darkness.

Sounds may be less "attractive" in the first moment then visual cues but music and voices are way more powerful coming slowly more deeply inside us than any visual attractions.

Sounds wait for our attention to give meanings. Visuals cues impose themselves. We must decipher music with total attention or a voice in a way visual movie or scenery is all prepared like a ready to cook meal.

Music is the first way we communicate in the womb and the last perceptive meanings to disapear.

i never listened as Jay did all the time from upgrade to the next, the "performance" of my gear pieces. I used acoustic experiments and listening experiments for a long period to set the system/room right for my ears. I ought to learn how to do it and nobody teach that. I listen music now, it is done and i know how to do it. The system /room is not there as an obstacle or a limitation, because it is optimal (for price paid)
