Is this hobby dying again?

its been exaggerated...youtube has blown up with millennials and Gen Z vloggers discussing music, LPs, unboxings of newly purchased gear etc. the hobby is far from dead.

I know Rob. That was a rhetorical question. People like to perpetuate myths.

MF is undoubtedly a "kook" in the same sense that all of us here are "kooks". He's also very likable and in my brief experiences with him at shows surprisingly open-minded about digital vs. analog, being much more concerned with the original recording quality and mastering, as we all should be.

Can someone explain to me how Mikey listened to the SACD layer of Aftermath on a dcs stack in 2002?

Are you suggesting an impossibility or fatal flaw in what he said?!

I was willing to give him the date error (he said 1999), but in '02 (when the Stones Abkco SACD's were released) the DSD layer was probably played on a Sony, Denon or Marantz player. I think Esoteric's first SACD player didn't arrive here until late 2003 or so.

Mike...you should it out. Mikey is, as I always find him, a very entertaining and interesting orator.

Sounds a PS Audio Powerplant sales pitch to me.

Maybe Paul wants to clear his stock so, he can push the AQ Niagara Just like they advertise AQ cabling for PS gear.

If you can't beat them (AQ + Shunyata) in power might as well join them.

Btw, I think there is an older Stereophile Youtube video where Fremer shows off his Niagara 7000.
