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?

No use trying to convert anyone, they either get it or they don't (care).

Most people today look for quantity over quality and convenience in a small package. They don't want a stack of components wired together.

I am at peace knowing that my system is for my enjoyment, and no longer care if anyone else thinks Im nuts.  I do still love it when someone gets blown away by it, but that is usually not going to convert them. Different strokes for different folk, and I think we can all agree that  "audiophiles " are different folks.
