coming back to what ??

i read the ny times article. my take is the customer base for mega buck systems, is declining, and is being replaced with less expensive turntable-based systems, or less expensive "server" based digital systems.

all you have to consider is the number of dealers who have gone out of business over the last two or three years.
the customer base for expensive gear is declining.

i would also suggest that the purchases, as measured in revenue, of so-called high-end gear is also declining.

therefore, the industry known as high end is one of supply exceeding demand. such is not a recipe for success.
