| Is this the end of HEA? I spent a lot of time in high end emporiums when such places existed, and many of the people were middle income, who explained to me, that it's a matter of priorities; they would rather have HEA than an expensive car like their friends. I don't b... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? There are enough factors working against HEA in the United States to "guarantee" it's demise. Besides the factors mentioned, poverty is working it's way up the ladder of success; too many poor people who can not buy what the next man up the ladde... | |
| 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? Mustbethemusic, me and an audiophile friend of mine auditioned an "affordable" SS ARC preamp that was loaned to me, and we didn't get very far into the first record before we declared it a "no show". Anytime I have auditioned bottom of the line "... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? Who are we? I mean the people engaged in these conversations. Most of us are seniors from what I can surmise. To begin with, we have a common desire for HEA; that's because we know what a difference it makes in the recorded music we listen to, an... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? Right now, people are complaining because nothing (relatively) is being sold; that's because there are fewer people who desire HEW products that can afford them; they're in the boneyard.If you have been observant, you'll realize that the people wh... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? Glupson, Old HEA dogs don't learn new tricks like what you and Michael are discussing, they just retire to the bone yard, leaving a vacuum. These new products are for new people; there is no HEA continuity. | |

| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? "Holographic sound" is the end of a very long journey; it’s not a button on a preamp that reads "Holographic sound".It’s for certain that you can’t get it when you don’t know what it is, and even then, not every recording delivers "Holographic sou... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? HEA is people who demand HEA, not the equipment; when they're dead, HEA will be dead.There are entirely too many things that can be done with computers for "expensive" HEA to survive. | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Without a shadow of a doubt, the most desirable aspect of high end audio is "The Holographic sound stage", and we see here, so many people don't want it. "Talk about the fox and the grapes"; this is the best example I have ever witnessed.Rvpiano,... | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? Chris, you can tell by the responses that since they've never heard it, and never had it; they really don't know what it is.We can talk about an elephant all day long, but until you have actually seen one up close and personal, you only have a vag... | |
| What do you like most? Jazz or Classic? Out of all the jazz violinists "Ray Nance" is my favorite; unfortunately, his best is not on "youtube". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xr1hFdvh1lkThe most individualistic is "Billy Bangs"; he was a tunnel rat in "Nam". https://... | |
