Other hobbies with these economics?

Audio seems to have an interesting set of economics for the consumer. Items depreciate substantially the minute they "drive off the lot", but remain just as "valuable" for many, many years in most cases. With proper care, these components retain basically 100% of their performance and usefulness, even with daily use. Compared to autos, computers, boats, etc., a well-cared-for used audio component is just as valuable, but much cheaper, than a new copy of the same thing.

Are there other hobbies where this relationship holds up?

I am into the gun thing, and it works, I always make money buying and selling. Watches are on the same level, if they are pricey enough to begin with, well maintained they go up in value. To hell with cars, a loosing battle! What I don't think is a good thing to collect is all of that Nascar junk, over priced crap, and will it ever be worth more then you pay?? doubtful.
