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?

The is no too much correlation between money invested in audio and sound quality of the system. It is more depended from a persons' musical test, knowledge, experience, skills.
Audio is not plug and play. You can spend a lot of money and get nothing good. Some very rich people buy super expensive audio same as exclusive furniture for prestige without understanding in audio subject. The best home systems I listened weren't most expensive systems. The same on audio show, best systems are not most expensive. In opposite some super expensive systems sound horrible.
On other hand, if two people with the similar audiophile skills spend different amount of money the person who spend more have more opportunities to get a better sound.
Very right for me... thanks...

My best to you...
The reality is that many of you old guards are not getting the performance you think you’re buying. I’ve seen a lot of expensive gear crammed up against walls in untreated rooms. Many buying “high-end” five and six-figure components would benefit from trading some of their money for greater knowledge/experience.
My basic system is 500 bucks all in all...

It is one of the best i listen to....

And there is better system than mine here in audiogon all over the place.... But it is way better  for your purse and creativity to own one of the best audio system in the ratio S.Q. /price than own the best one in audiogon...

Dont listen those who boast about their gear....

Read about acoustic.....

Because no one listen to his amplifier and speakers but to his room....


Then any young without money must listen this advice: read about acoustic....
 take care of vibrations and learn how  to decrease the electrical noise floor...


No need of money to create hi-fi.....

 The optimal experience is enough, let the " best" experience to those who chase the moon....It is less costly....
