Why don't kids nowadays know about Jazz and classi
Hmmmnnn....sex sells. Ever see the booty in some of those videos? The cars? The 'bling'? Hard to convince a 16 year old Brubeck is cool when mtv makes you horny. And Chopin never packed a gun.... 
Bryston vs Simaudio ?

Any New Music capture your fancy ?
'Famous Chinese Instrumentals', on the 'First Impressions Music' label. While definately not new music, it is new to me. Stunning, the strike and decay of these traditional instruments is something amazing, the percussion is in a class of its own.... 
You might be an audiophile if...

foreign lyrics -------do you care?
Plato, I think we can agree that alot of lyrics are just 'filler'-- when is the last time you heard a top40 list of new music contain even one purely instrumental piece? It feels as though some times lyrics are added as an afterthought to grab peo... 
foreign lyrics -------do you care?
Marekanetz-I think you are so right. Just think, if the rest of the world had the same mentality, where would so many English only bands be today? I mean, would The Beatles be so popular? 
How many audiophiles to screw in a light bulb?
Has anybody hard wired a bulb? And all this effort wasted if you are using dirty power.....
