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

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 !

I have the same concerns regarding my library.  Legacy can be a fickle mistress. 

I go to this mom/pop Thai restaurant. Mom/pop are constantly arguing/fighting the entire time grub’s made and it is cheap. Service is poor (eat a lot and get your ass going seems to be mom/pop’s motto). But, omg, the food’s amazing!! Filet mignon was always a huge fail in comparison. Some barbarian who had no idea of a spice or flavor profile ever in life cooks a chunk of meat and throws salt on it..he claims it’s ’high culture’ thereafter in his red poppy suit & tie, charges an arm and a leg....Fail

Fine Cabarnet?..Fail again.....Some Austin starlight vodka and some freshly squeezed...fresh...fresh...fresh...(Put it on the squeezer right in front of ya fresh) orange juice creates way more euphoria.

The filet mignon crap you got sold as high culture is a big letdown, in reality. Remember that.

(Doko bell is for the patriots, of course, manna from their gods).
