No matter how much time and effort audio designers put into improving equipment, there will always be people who are quite happy with what they have already been listening to before. There is no doubt about that. But to take issues with improvements is taking things in a completely different realm. I would even suggest that holders of such views should spend less time on audio forums. Atheists don't go to church after all.
Hence the inevitable race to the bottom which brought us to the present 'iPhone with white earbuds' state of affairs. Will the hi fi industry continue, will it survive once us old geezers pack it up?

If everyone stops spending money on improved equipment, people like Stan will be forced to stop researching and innovating. I'm not seeing younger generations obsessing about the quality of sound reproduction, do you? We may end up being the last Mohicans.
