Where Coming Back

coming back to what ??

i read the ny times article. my take is the customer base for mega buck systems, is declining, and is being replaced with less expensive turntable-based systems, or less expensive "server" based digital systems.

all you have to consider is the number of dealers who have gone out of business over the last two or three years.

"Article in the New York Times today indicating big buck audio is coming back."

Actually, the article indicates no such thing. Quite the opposite. It's talking about getting good sound on a budget. He-looo!

"Where Coming Back," indeed!

I thought I herd something too that affect, but leave it too the New York Times to bee the one to bare the gnus.

The article tells me that some younger people are beginning to appreciate quality of sound over quantity.

Bodes well for audio manufacturers, mega buck or not.

Best.

Nice read, but of course a few cases cited as examples in an article does not necessarily mean anything is "coming back".

I like this part though:

"And while many audio companies have struggled or gone under in the wake of the iPod’s popularity, the iPod has also created millions of potential audiophiles. “You have a whole generation getting music over the Internet, from streaming, tablets, iPhones,” Mr. Brown said. “It’s introduced many more people to music.”"

High end audio community of snotty dinosaurs: Hint, hint, nod, nod, wink wink, eh?
