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

Why should audiophiles care about whether the future generations care about this hobby? I have no skin in the game in the sense I'm not generating income from this, and beside the people who know about my obsession with the hobby think I'm crazy. Music is simply background noise for help in setting mood while involved in other activities for vast majority. Sitting in the dark listening to music played over a high end system for hours without distraction isn't a consideration in the hectic world of today.

60% of audiophiles are immortal??!

None of this is news.  We are dying off and most of our prized gear and physical media will end up in landfills or museums.  I feel for the younger ones that are feeling lonely; hell I feel lonely; I know perhaps one audiophile in my bubble of the world.  I’ve tried proselytizing but I guess I’m no good at it.  Maybe you guys are better at it.  In my experience you can’t make someone crave filet mignon and a fine Cabernet when they are happy with Taco Bell and Angry Orchard 

60% of audiophiles are immortal??!

Yes, you see there's this fuse, you know, it's costly but once installed, your lifespan is extended indefinitely. Oh, you also need the cable that comes with it. Also expensive. But just those two things -- fuse and cable. Oh, one more, there's a power conditioner (pricey) but after that, no more dying. 

 For a group of people that love to change cables, change dacs, change fuses, we sure are afraid of change !
