Sad if their hair stands up with an IPhone, what would it do with a real good system. I can enjoy music in my car or other less audiophile based systems but it's still not the same as sitting listening to a real great system.
I love my Hifi
Anyone ponder over how it’s a great shame that our kids will probably never enjoy the quality of music we’re loving?
When I go away travelling for business or on holiday, I can’t wait to get home to listen to my music again.
It’s such a meaningful thing in my life. I feel sorry for people who don’t have that.
I’m listening to Transformer (Lou Reed) right now. On the original vinyl pressing. It’s 47 years old - a tad younger than me. It’s making the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end - giving me such a buzz.
I couldn’t imagine life without my Hifi, but most of the younger generation will never know this!
How sad is that?

Sad? Why would you feel sad? If they didnt like music at all that might be sad. Face it guys hi-fi isn’t for everybody. I am willing to bet that any of us born into the millennial generation would be very happy with our IPhones and earbuds. I would have killed to have access to this much music and the ability to take it anywhere I wanted. Many say cd’s brought Album, sales down but from what I have read it was actually the cassette tape. Convenience and portability. Case in point, my daughter never gave a rip about my system when she was really young but then she got her first apartment and I gave her a modest little system I scrapped together from spare components. Nad c370 a Bluesound Node, Mogami Speaker wires and IC’s a pair of ADS speakers and some Pangea Stands. She really loves that system and her friends come over and are amazed. But what they really like is that they can all hook their phones up and stream to her stereo via Bluetooth from the node. They have an absolute blast listening to music on her stereo. Now they are all asking me for advice on a starter system and my daughter has expressed interest in visiting the hifi shops in Minneapolis to look into better components/speakers. She also wants a turntable so I am getting her a Rega p3 next. |
Actually I think its quite the opposite. Just 10-15 years ago not only did no one else I know have a turntable, but if even if they wanted to there were virtually zero places they could go to try or buy one. Now every stereo store I go to has a turntable in every room, and when I ask around at work the first 20-something guy says yes he has a turntable and records! So much for equipment. Then I go on YouTube and guess what? There's not just one but a whole genre of videos just about showing peoples reactions when hearing great music for the first time. These people are freaking out over how great the music is! One guy, I still can't believe this, he's listening to Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Which has a long instrumental intro. Which at one point he stops to say how this music has him reflecting back on his life. Okay. So then what's the first words to the song? "Remember when you were young..." dude totally loses it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnobqFNC98U I'm a pretty jaded skeptical we're circling the drain type, but damned if stuff like this doesn't just give me hope. |
