In the 60's I was a kid up until the latter part of the decade. And even then couldn't afford anything nice. But there was wonderful equipment to use in that decade, just unobtainable. I remember if I'd go to a department store with the folks, I'd always gravitate to the music and gear section, ogling all the cool stuff. Even after getting out on my own my budget was small. My first system consisting of an integrated amp, bookshelf speakers and budget turntable was very modest, cobbled together from a warehouse sale.
But the common theme for us audio nut cases is that we wanted better and strove to improve upon it.
I eventually took up woodworking and started building speakers, leading me here with Wayne's fabulous high end speakers for audiophiles on a budget. And also doing diy kit building. I'm glad I went that route too. The continual upgraditis some do as their income blossoms seems sort of shallow to me. I like the hands on approach better.
I don't think all younger folk today are totally immersed in social media and video games. There's some out there digging music that can sound more real than an earbud can ever do.
