The "hobby" needs no saving, but the audio business plan has changed

Back in the late 1970 and early 1980s, when I first got into stereos, I just wanted to have the best system I could, because I wanted to listen to my music loud and clear with deep base, etc.

I thought the equipment was cool, but I didn't consider it a hobby really. I mean, how can buying products, or listening to music, be a hobby unto itself??

Those days likely won't return, but with all of us Asylees pursuing this as a hobby, we seem to be supporting a lot of companies putting out great product and relatively affordable prices.

"If you are the owner of a new stereophonic system, this record will play with even more brilliant true-to-life fidelity. In short, you can purchase this record with no fear of its becoming obsolete in the future."
