Will Technology Kill the Audiophile Hobby?

When you think that far into the future, I find myself doing so rather often. You realize that the "important" things of today maybe not so important in the grand scheme of things.

I am currently reading my first real book in about 25 years (non-technical book) called:

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
by Yuval Noah Harari

Fascinating how we have all gotten to this place in time. The future will happen.

Audio technology advancement? More like Thunderdome I think.

On 2nd thought, 2000 years will be well past the Thunderdome era. Approximately 1000 years then for the planet to rejuvenate, and by year 2000 the first (this time around) sound reproducer will be invented. 50% THD but hey it's a start.

At least power conditioners will be obsolete when
electromagnetism is taken advantage of.

Audiophiles will never cease to exist regardless the technology nor price. There will always be someone somewhere listening to what he has access to. What scares me are the amount of hands on electronic gurus still around. You know what I’m talikn about, the one that still has his soldering iron :) that poor bastid...*laffs
