| Does Anybody Remember Rocket Speakers? Value always is popular - especially if you are some our younger audiophiles out there. The question is: does is matter WHO you are buying your gear from? Would you buy a Tesla from "King Elon?" I won't. Would you buy a $4,000 fuse of $35,0... | |
| Does Anybody Remember Rocket Speakers? He signed a contract with me (we knew a lot of the same people such as Howard Schilling and Bob Rapport) and he just stiffed me for $40,000. Then he tells me "why don't you come to Denver and I will buy you a steak dinner and let you drive my Po... | |
| Does Anybody Remember Rocket Speakers? AV123.com was the brain child of the audiophile industry's Bernie Madoff, Mark Schifter. Ugh... He went to prison for defrauding children's charities with audiophile gear auctions if I got the story right. https://www.audioholics.com/news/av12... | |
| Compact Disc and Vinyl Habits Yo Dog, Thank for your kind words on the fire. It has been a total disaster. State Farm is screwing us HARD. Everybody really but that doesn't make things better for anybody. I think Mark Waldrerp from AIX Records lost his house. I KNOW Robert... | |
| Compact Disc and Vinyl Habits Hey SNS, I just found this old thread. You have one HELL of a Compact Disc and LP collection. I have 1500 CDs but less than 25 LPs. That might change when I move back into my house post Palisades Fire. I've been talking with Mat at VPI about ge... | |

Outside of AV publishing, I work with a high net worth divorce attorney in CT. It is amazing what goes down i... | |
| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC This is tragic mistake and an unforced error by dCS. Here at FutureAudiophile.com we've mistakenly bailed others out of anti-free speech issues such as Eric Alexander at Tekton Design. He foolishly attacked a YouTuber who measures some of his sp... | |
| Anyone at home at Krell? I haven't written about this at FutureAudiophile.com but Rondi recently died and Krell is in pretty big trouble. After the investor that basically threw Dan out, it is unclear how much of the company that he owns any more IF ANY. Rondi and her h... | |
| At what price is one considered an Audiophile. We did an article based on a quote that I heard at AXPONA this year from an industry executive who said "Anybody with a pair of earbuds can be an audiophile". I had to run with that concept as it is the core of what we are doing at FutureAudioph... | |
| What can beat Wilson XVX for less money? I've sold and owned my fair share of Wilsons. I've been to the factory. I know some of the family thus I am a bit of a fan boy. If you couldn't bust out $350,000 for speakers - you are still going to be OK. Here are some recommendations from me:... | |
| Which is the best audio magazine? I've got a new publication to add to the list that is only 9 weeks old but pretty cool. FutureAudiophile.com is designed to reach younger and more diverse audio enthusiasts. We've got two feature reviews per week, some really good ... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? While I would rather have music in HD which is basically a digital copy of the master tape (be it analog or digital master), CD is better than vinyl if your goal is to hear what is on the master recording.Why? Vinyl has VERY LIMITED dynamic range ... | |
