YouTube Indicates What the Future is For Audiophiles - Interesting Demographics.
@seanheis1 Age seems to shift with cost while gender stays the same. I don’t think any of this surprises anyone. A few people early on commented to the effect “tell us something new”. My point and the reason for posting was to discuss what, if any... 
Older Moon W8 vs 860a
My impressions are the polar opposite of what a couple people have said above. I owned W10 monos for a few years and thought they were good but a little bit on the lean side. It felt as though Sim were trying to take on Krell at that time. Since t...

@asvjerry lol. I’m a Brit in America so I’m used to being on the wrong side of acquired taste. I still have Derek and Clive Live on vinyl somewhere…

@seanheis1  Yes Krell is for old farts. There were two videos with contrasting appeal referenced in the OP for that reason. I guess we take away what we want to take away. In general, I’m excited that there are people appealing to a younger demo...

@asvjerry  Those J&Cs' might kill the pain.....but.... An 'alt ego' that might be fly..... I’m just so happy that there were no images to go with your video clip, that was disturbing enough without visuals LOL

@dr-boop  It's a hobby that appeals to older gentlemen with spare cash. Relax..everyone gets old some time. Agreed, the concern is that once the current batch of older gentleman kick the bucket there doesn’t seem to be another batch in the pip...

@asvjerry ..  yes! I think I’m a bit old to be challenging any of the dudes in that video. Forty years ago maybe… after a few Jack ‘n cokes…

@jon_5912  Hi.. I doubt more than a handful of people under 50 know what a KSA80 is. If you look at the OP there are two videos referenced, the second targeting a younger audience. I did it that way because they represent the two extremes of age ...

@alexatpos  Who listens that  music or music from those times,anymore (among young folks) ? Jazz? Are you kidding me? Classical music is only enjoyed by the ones who had some education about it (again among younger folks) So, no wonder that less... 
Recommendation for tube preamp
Most Conrad Johnson preamps are good and will give you the warmth you are seeking. You might find a 17LS or an 17LS 2 in your price range. Do you keep your ML power amp switched on? That’s something to think about… if you’re leaving the power amp...

@abnerjack  Best looking group of philes I've ever seen. …some of their womenfolk look interesting..

@cdc I think cheapaudioman’s demographic would look quite different. He focuses more on lower priced mass-produced consumer electronics and I’d suspect his audience would be younger, though still largely male. Jay Iagi too would likely have a you...
