It's pretty common in Spain to use question marks at the start and end of a question. Same goes for Catalan,

??? Are Manufacturers Killing Our Hobby ???
I had struck me recently that there is a GLUTTONY of equipment manufacturers these days & that,if not careful,the unchecked saturation of every corner of our hobby could bring about the demise of the entire industry..
There are only so many consumers of audio reproduction equipment to go around.The younger generations,as a whole,seem uninterested in the pursuit of music reproduction in the home..Live music events are less & less about the music & more & more about the "show"being put on..
Vendors at the last hi fi show I attended recently commented on how small the crowds were compared to previous years.
Too much of anything is never a good thing in the long run...Is it possible that the unbridled ability of manufacturers to saturate the market with too many choices could be a DEATH knell to our hobby in the not to distant future?

@immatthewj that college degree you spents tens of thousands of $ on didn't teach you much did it ??? |
The problem is not an interest by young people. It's the cost of health insurance, Dental costs, tuition costs, that keep them home with mom and dad. Costs of apartments, rental, or buying, food costs doubled, all have gone way high with few wage increases. No money for an expensive hobby. If cost of living lowers, buying increases. |
