Why aren't the older members still active ?


Just curious who is still very active from 2000 and earlier
on this site? I don't get on very often. I guess I have no opinions or my interest lies elsewhere. I remember in the early 2000s there seemed more interesting and heated topics then now. I cannot even get a rise out of anybody for saying "the Beatles where the worse group ever". I think somebody replied " I am a moron" without stating why he thought they were good. I started a thread in Music: Garage Band Hangover, about a website called Garage Hangover, but like 2 people responded. Some of my favs haven't been on in 3 even 5 years. So why is that?

It's been at least 10 years since a product came along that really knocked my socks off THAT DIDN'T cost more than my first 4 cars added together. This hobby started to get bad before the economy got bad. About this same time, the industry somewhat turned its back on the diehards and went for the billionares with giant mansons to fill with "whole mansion systems". i think allot of people have left the hobby or lost interest because there is very little to be interested in at this point, imo.
Hi Inna, I hope my post did not knock rich people - I am far from a "march on wall St" type. I only knock stereo gear that cost more than a modest priced house, because over that last decade prices have gone way up and sound quality has gone way down, imo. I would really like to know really great sounding speakers for $5K - from what I have listened to in this range, none are even good and most are poor. (I hope you can mention some models and skip BW and other mass produced cheapy brands - I hope you have lived more than that).

So, how to you get to your house in the Hamptons ? :)
