I find it interesting that others don't have a sense that cost is a major factor. Cost being a function of volume for the most part. I can conceive of high end electronics being replicated in mass volume at costs that are mass affordable. Not cheap, but affordable.
If that was/is the case, and equipment continues in the same direction, it poses the possibility that many could have the equivalent of the rarest of systems today at prices that are currently in the uppwardly mobile market.
But, I believe correctly stated in another thread, the goal for many is not live or life-like music, but rather a skew on that. For some, as they imaging music to sound and for others as they wish it to be. Still others don't want the involvement and captivation that real music brings, but want music as a part of the landscape, not the subject itself.
I am all of those at various times and therefore relate to the ideas.
I just can't get my arms around the idea that everyone doesn't want the real thing, if they could get it.
Maybe, the truth is that most don't believe they can have it and therefore have a reason why it's not important to them.
As is obvious, the why really interests me.
