| What's going on with the audio market? Mapman, right on. *G* (Just showing my age... ;)...)"Serious Audio"...I think I'm 'doing' a variant of that...I'm serious about what I'm about, and I'll posit that the guys with the megabuck systems are, too. The guy jogging by with the buds in h... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I'm 64...Been playing about with audio since my late teens. Have owned some semi-serious equipment in the past, but never 'caught the bug' or had the disposable income to own Serious Stuff. Did develop ears that could discern between mere hype a... | |

| Too many cans with no storage! ...at least, in your 'man cave', you could have a deer's head with the 'phones on it's ears. Have a different 'head' for each of your head-phones. And it would be kinda amusing to see, since each one has different 'voicing', right?Send me a pict... | |

| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! Ah, the tempest in the teacup rages on...I'd pay to watch a competitive cable flogging match. It'd be interesting to see which cable outlasted the others. Akin to seeing a golf tournament played with slingshots and pool cues...by the pros...just... | |
