If I calculated what I purchased versus sold, I'm well under the floor. Most of the enjoyment out of this isn't ticket prices or bragging about how much the system costs. I believe... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @stuartk - Noted. Didn't mean to suggest that all new music is inferior, just responding to the overall generalization from the article's author that old music was a threat to new. To your point, the author's focus might have overlooked great mu... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? @larsman - its absolutely possible. Even though I mentioned jazz as my primary pleasure, this adventure has led me to appreciate rock music that I otherwise would have not enjoyed without the exposure. That's why I referenced the largeness of the ... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? Let's ask a different question: Rather than ask if old music is killing new music, what if we ask "Why anything new deserves to be appreciated just because it was recently born?" I enjoy the fact that in this consumer society driven by new, new,... | |
| No more "High End" for me...Back to Reality Audio There's a saying in sports .. stay out of other people's pockets!

| Is this the end of HEA? The "audiophile" designation has absolutely nothing to do with my ability to hear; I gave a friend of mine that designation because he could hear even better than me. Are you saying just because a piece of gear is ARC, or CJ, or Sota, that it’s su... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? Orpheus - I understand your reference point. My point is that two buck chuck audio as in two buck chuck wine is fine for some but not necessarily for those who have developed a more refined pallet. The challenge or opportunity is can we set our ow... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? I have two responses to the end of HEA conundrum. 1 - Most music listeners, regardless of generation, have never spent a substantial amount of money on audio. There were always a select few who invested in anything beyond a small console stereo or... |
