Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ?


Traffic is very low today vs 2000!

Are most audiophiles "set" with their systems, and no longer care?

Are 90% of audiophiles close to retirement, or retired and broke?

Most older "classic" audio equipment also does not show up for sale anymore IMO.

The more people seemingly become connected through the web the more in fact they become disconnected to the point of virtual isolation. If it is a progress they want they may have it and see where it leads.
Yeah, younger generation are becoming kind of The Borg, collective being from Star Trek: The Next Generation. They wish to consume and assimilate everything in their path to "increase the quality of life".
Individuality is being eroded to the point of non-existing.
We, the people of the old ways, will resist as much as we can for as long as we can. We may lose but it is going to be a good fight.
Death to the digital. And to the cell phones along with computers. God help us all.

New ideas about what? $1000 on headphones is either too much or too little, what a waist of money. The best value is tuned reel to reel deck connected to, say, vintage Rowland electronics, playing through a number of good vintage speakers. Those kids should come over here and learn something. Especially before spending big.
Well, I think this thread is kind of proof that at least this particular forum is not quite dead. I have some complaints too, so what? The biggest one is that for whatever reasons many very knowledgeable old timers rarly post if ever. Showing off your equipment is not a sin, but if it is the only thing that you do, yeah, it does become boring and a little irritating.
