I have always had a music system, from a hand me down in the 1980's to a set of seperates now. My Dad also has one of the nice compact ones that Tandy used to sell with the metal speakers.
But the HiFi shop has closed, Currys have no stock and there is no longer any HiFi shops like there used to be.
I know that people have the MP3 player docks but this is nothing like even a basic music centre. For one thing having a pair of speakers far enough apart to 'reassemble' the sound that was recorded in the studio and no CD player.
So why do people no longer want even a compact HiFi any longer? Being selfish for a moment I do love my music and do miss having new things to try to give me more music enjoyment and new technology (my current seperates are over 10 years old now). The really good gang at the HiFi shop closed because the shop was being ignored. That was Watford - Aylesbury and St Albans shops shut too. Sad really.
