I think it's near impossible to fully understand all the moving parts and motivations of all the entities. People love to think they can analyze these things away but nobody knows all. But can't we let people be themselves without criticizing every little thing? I mean there are nested criticisms here. lol Which seems to usually be the case. I like when people go out of bounds respectfully. It's not the same ole and is mind expanding. You never know what other's open thoughts are gonna give you ideas you would have never arrived at otherwise. Not sure that works grammatically but there it is. lol Take Care Alll!
??? Are Manufacturers Killing Our Hobby ???
I had struck me recently that there is a GLUTTONY of equipment manufacturers these days & that,if not careful,the unchecked saturation of every corner of our hobby could bring about the demise of the entire industry..
There are only so many consumers of audio reproduction equipment to go around.The younger generations,as a whole,seem uninterested in the pursuit of music reproduction in the home..Live music events are less & less about the music & more & more about the "show"being put on..
Vendors at the last hi fi show I attended recently commented on how small the crowds were compared to previous years.
Too much of anything is never a good thing in the long run...Is it possible that the unbridled ability of manufacturers to saturate the market with too many choices could be a DEATH knell to our hobby in the not to distant future?
