| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. +1 for @rooze ”In general, I’m excited that there are people appealing to a younger demographic on social media. There’s nothing more fun as an audiophile to have a younger person experience your system and appear to ‘get it’ at some level.” | |
| YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics. Interesting thread. I am going to guess that Darko and his “futurefi” channel (that includes reviews of vinyl products) has a different viewership than the OP’s results. In the 60s and 70s, when the current gray beards were starting out, an amp ... | |

For years I followed the logic that connecting my AVR directly to the wall would prov... | |

| Do you belong more to souce first or to speakers first school of thought ? @agisthos +1 both posts. I would add room design/treatments to your list as well, maybe first on the list. | |
