How large (or small) is the audiophile market?

I appreciate it @mahgister 

@devinplombier I am very respectful to others. For instance I don't have anyone's comments removed. But respect is only afforded until someone attacks me or spreads lies knowingly. Any conversation here is moot now as most of my comments are removed because the truth inconveniences "some". This has become a forum for the bullies to ridicule people and silence them. 

It very much reflects the world out there (in the US) where one side spreads lies and limits any free speech they don't like and the other side has to shut up.

I looked at that comment I posted and I wasn't comfortable with it, so I deleted it right away. But I guess the forum must have sent an email notification. Sorry about that.

Axpona had a record attendance of around 10993, up 5%.  I am 61 so don't be offended but judging by the pictures of attendees our time has passed.  I did note that the obligatory AED in each room had silver wiring to match my hair.  So yes, literally dying off like my Ladies newspaper business.

Also, no house to play in without neighbors beating on walls etc, why bother.  Sad.  Just streamed Dear Prudence, no idea of the bass buried in a tune I have heard for 50 years.  

Happy Listening!

Guys, with all respect intended, would you please take this quarrel offline.

You have totally derailed this thread.
