If anything it started too late to be only a boomer thing. I'm very

high end audio as we know it now was fledged.

Then we will likely disagree when "high end" got its start.

Please explain. AFAIK the consensus points at a time that coincides
with the charter issue of TAS.

Substitute "Stereophile" and you might be right.

Speaking as a charter subscriber to both ragazines, I don't think so.

Weil, could you have even read the charter issue of Stereophile when it
first came out, let alone been allowed to have enough money to subscribe to
it without an adult's involvement?

No I wouldn't have. What does *that* have to do with anything?

I'm surprised to see you discount the idea of high-end products in the
early 60s as well as Gordon Holt's virtually defining what high-end
is.

I'm glad that you were a subscriber to Stereophile while you were
still in early high school though.
