Is it possible to bring your kids into this hobby?


Join us tonight at 7 pm for our Listen Up Audio show to discuss equipment topics including sample low cost starter systems. We’ll also touch on speaker crossover basics and a trivia question around a popular 1970s speaker.

I kinda have my doubts, as they think music mainly comes from phones and someone named Alexa.

My youngest showed a little interest, so over the course of some birthdays, Christmas, and just cleaning out my  extra stuff, I've given her a pair of Paradigm bookshelf speakers (not the Atoms-- slightly  larger and not of Canadian Mfg.), Pangea stands, and a Yamaha receiver.  

She got her own cabinet. 

If she gets a turntable, I have a spare Parasound ZPhono.

She does listen to it a lot, as she is working from home, and pretty diligent about actually sitting in place and getting stuff done. 

Being a millenial, of course she has mastered how to get her phone to play through it.

We'll see. You can teach a person to fish, but they ultimately have to like fishing. 


In my house its been a very big hell no...

Iphone, AirPods and streaming “are the best Dad.” I did succeed in getting my son into 911’s though. Unfortunately, his insurance premium isn’t kind to my audio budget.

As a dad, I pass on what I can. Hifi ain’t it.
Lord knows, I tried.

I have two daughters and four adult grandchildren. There’s not a CD player among them. The music they listen to comes over their I-phones into their ear-buds.

My tween daughter thinks her Echo Dot sounds the same as the reference system. Sigh .........  But her best friend apparently is now into records and has started acquiring Beatles LPs.  ...  Thinking of trading kids, lol.
