Plenty of younger audiophiles out there. Not sure why you’re not meeting them. I chat with plenty of them when I am out and about. I also have a young cousin and two nieces, all in there mid-20s who have good systems. When I was there age, I was the only one in my family with any interest in MUSIC, much less EQUIPMENT. So, a three-fold increase in audiophiles in one generation sounds pretty optimistic to me.
Where are the young audiophiles?
I find it alarming that 95% of all audiophiles are seniors.According to a consultant at my local HI-FI store,young people don't seem interested in high-end equipment.They listen to music on their phone.Sooner or later, all the great neighborhood HI-FI stores will not be able to remain open. Kind of sad,don't you think?
