How large (or small) is the audiophile market?


Just curious, how big is the total market for audiophile hardware?  There seem to be a lot of manufactures vying for a a small pool of potential buyers.  I've read in places that as boomers age the market is shrinking.  I don't know very many young people, but none that i do know are into it.  Anyone have any idea what the total market size is?

here you cut my post from his thread context: What is the most underestimated fact in audio ?

 

Then you arrange the post truncating it from his context to make it as if i had disparaged everybody instead of recommending to pay attention to the grounding process : grounding each piece of gear rightfully...

 

Don’t know what you are talking about. I copied from this thread -How large (or small) is the audiophile market?. Here it is in its entirety:

The only real audiophiles i knew are dead...

They played with the gear pieces never were really concerned and never studied acoustics...

I am the only real audiophile i knew now, i used a dedicated room, and i studied how to makes it  holographic with basic gear because i could not enter the upgrades race. My budget lack was my luck but i did not knew at the times....

I succeeded but it takes me 2 years full time to understand how to do it at no cost...

 

Most people called audiophiles here  buy gear pieces without end on a race to upgrade the sound...

Gear matter for sure...

But  acoustics matter way more  than the choice between  relatively good basic pieces of gear...

 

Most dont want to know this simple truth, because they dont have a room  dedicated only to audio, they dont have the time to study acoustics... And a dedicated acoustics room done by a pro cost more than a high end system anyway...

What is an audiophile?

It is a fool with money who buy gear pieces  one after the other or a fool with no money ready to have fun in a dedicated room whose hobby is acoustics (me)...

There is rare people with unlimited budget spending money on room and gear....

They dont buy quartz to ground their gear homemade.... They bought costlier product...cool

 

This post of me above describe my own audiophile journey in part...

How in the world someone can takes a bit of irony mixed with my own audiophile journey for an attack on all audiophiles ?

Excuse me but you are deluded or very sensible skin...

Anybody else reading this think that my intention was mocking all audiophiles ?

 

my intention was pointing to acoustics as the best tool to learn..

And grounding process at peanuts cost exist and work...

Is it necessary to ban irony ?

At least i dont use only sarcasms against specific person here as the one calling me narcissist or deep33 insulting me for one year non stop...

Ironical i am sometimes yes...

But i dont attack anyone in particular as you just did with no argument except truncating my post, your first post above pretending that i attack all audiophile forgetting that i am myself an audiophiles as i said multiple times ..

 

 Read an acoustic article instead of reading my posts ...

 

By the way did you know that you can ground a piece of gear at no cost with small quartz or other convenient minerals and a copper cable ?

it does not takes a genius to read my proposition as an experiment ...

 

 

 

 

Excuse me but you are deluded or very sensible skin...

 

More name calling and ad hominem attack.

Use cool about people "Who bought costlier product" is not an attack?

After accusing me of attacking all audiophiles...

:)

my sentence do not appear as an ad hominem attack but as an observation about your behaviour posting about me  as person and not about my proposition in my posts about my journey as audiophile:

grounding methods and acoustics concepts importance etc ...

After accusing me of attacking all audiophiles...

 

So that is your excuse to call me names and attack me?

Where did I accuse you of attacking all audiophiles...?
