hard to spare the 4+-figure chunk of change required for this hobby, if one is struggling to pay off exorbitant student loans for non-commercially productive degree programs, while living in parents' basement. basically it is older bankers, engineers, medicos, lawyers, successful entrepreneurs who drive this hobby. working class folk like me are extreme outliers.
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?
