@larsman my point exactly. The market for any print magazine is rapidly shrinking, much less very fine focused and genre specific magazines. I’m surprised you’re still 12,000 or some odd subscribers at this stage. Me included of course.
To address the op’s, as a teacher/professor for several decades I have known thousands of young people and so my first students are now hitting their forties. I can count maybe on two or three hands and number who’ve actively expressed interest in traditional audio file sound. In fact I was very happy to help two of my high school seniors get set up with decent vinyl playback rigs. One of them just wanted to get rid of her ancient receiver and get powered speakers so I helped her out by donating one of my unused phono stages, Darlington, which really changed the way she listened to music. The other guy I helped by installing one of my unused mm cartridges, a decent grado, which made him incredibly happy as he reported he was hearing the music like he never heard before. But most people under the age of 35 for the most part- I know I’m making a sweeping generalization here- are concerned more about the economics and Mobility factors then fidelity.
Plus, just look at how many more entertainment options are available to people under 30 as compared to Gen X or boomers. It's not just a radio TV and cable, it's everything else and that everything else is much more Interactive and offers A Narrative of sorts. Some of the music my students report listening to most oddly enough is actually game soundtracks.
