Just a curious question. I get a feeling that the adverse economy effects of the pandemic aren't felt by the demographics here.
Have you been affected by the financial health aspects or the stay-at-home aspects of the pandemic to create, delay or avoid planned audio purchases?
Speaking for myself, the stay-at-home phase increased my attention on the entertainment system which had not been upgraded for a long time. Which got me to thinking about upgrading. Which got me to look at what is out here. Which created a lot of frustration in not finding good stuff at decent prices within the budget I wanted to spend that would be a significant upgrade to what I had. Which stopped me from buying any big ticket items for now to see where the prices go for things I feel are way overpriced. Which got me buying some relatively inexpensive stuff for marginal upgrades or to play around with new technologies/toys, etc.
If it wasn't for the pandemic, the old system would probably have stayed without a concern until something died and had to be replaced.
