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.

I can tell you the audiophile market is dead. Resale value is non-existent.

Pro audio market is doing much better though.
Basically what shadorne said. I got a $80 active monitor that just blows away thousand dollar audiophile system right now... I bought it for the lulz because it was so stupid cheap but was completely blown away... I really shouldn’t be bashing audiophile market until I got my last few thousand dollar plus equiptments sold though. Oh well.
Sorry, I still got like $8000+ worth of audiophile equips that I need to sell. So not going to say what it is. But here's a freebie since I sold all my audiophile DACs already. The TASCAM UH-7000 is an unbelievable value. Beats multiple $3000+ audiophile DACs...
Yeah, it's pointless bashing at snake oils. It's just I'm still kinda pissed about how much money I'm going to lose on them.

The best bang for the buck is definitely used pro audio equiptments, the 5.1 system I'm building now cost a fraction of my previous stereo setup, and there is just no comparison.
