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

Fascinating excellent comments.

Might I add that if you want to know what other people are thinking, then don’t use yourself or your friends as core samples. If those who participate here are largely older males helping one another out basically to sort out equipment, then we’re not the best to self report. Aslo this forum is mostly team USA folks.

Ironically can’t use Reccord sales to help get a snapshot of the state of the audiophile/high end gear world’s survival indicators as ones and zeros have taken over. I’d like to see the price bell curve of the average streamer price. 

If sales are robust that’s the only metric that matters to me. And if we’re a bunch on the backside of life what’s driving this could be the realisation of our fleeting time left?

Also often, like it or not, many of us tend to be like our parents. My Dad was an audiophile. One of my sons is.  Is this proof of anything given my admonition of close orbits when collecting data, Nah? Yah?
