Is the idea of audiophile listening a dying concept as boomers die off?

Check the demographic at hi fi shows - male and old!

Lot's of women enjoy other predominantly 'male' hobbies; cars, motorcycles, mountain biking, competitive shooting, gardening.  

Any thoughts on why there are not more women audio enthusiasts?

Audiophile listening isn't dying.  The music worth listening to is old, just like the audiophiles who listen to it. We are a dying breed of connoisseurs, soon to be extinct.

You seem like a fun dude to hang out with.

Equipment designers see that and are exploiting their dwindling market before it’s completely gone.

And you know this how?

@rcm1203 😂 I respect your brutal honesty!

I don’t think so. But this thread made me think back to the first high-end audio store I visited in the mid 80’s. I remember listening to a MacIntosh rig - separates- a - Linn TT, and I think some Cerwin Vegas (horns?)

I think the Mac gear was $5K each. Pre, amp, Cd player

Mesmerizing.

I bought some mid fi home audio gear but also 2 pretty decent custom car installs from them including the same Luxman/Alpine head unit that came with Lambo’s back in the day.

Anyway, that store is still there, sound hounds in Victoria established in 1973
