    NewYorker Journalist David Denby Writes About our Hobby

    Hi folks...it's been a long while since I've hopped on here to see what's cookin' and check out what you all have been up to :-) I see Joe has new monster MC1.25Ks monos and my faith is restored that the deep end of the shark pool is still alive and kicking

    In any case, a friend of mine sent me a link to a NewYorker article by David Denby, who is himself a hobbyist, on the high-end audio space. It's more of an introduction to the space to the casual reader who may be unfamiliar seen through the eyes of an enthusiast who recently went out and checked out some systems. It's a quick fun read and if this has already been posted, I apologize. As I stated, it's been a while since I have dived into the shark pool, so here you go and enjoy: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cu...shopping-guide

    I hope everyone is having a good start to 2018 and happy listening
