    Vera-Fi Video - what happened?

    Doesn't sound good. Hopefully, just logistical glitches that can be fixed, but given the history there is reason for concern. There are certain federal agencies that sometimes take an interest in such matters. Especially given the history.

    Is the growth in audio streaming reshaping the world of audio equipment manufacturers?

    Its amazing how quickly we humans can take things for granted. To my ears, my vinyl rig sounds (a little) better than streaming. But I'll bet a lot of us grew up in the 60s saving up $4 to buy a record maybe once a month to get the two good songs we really wanted. Can you imagine if someone had...

    Have Audiophiles and the Audiophile Press Become Irrelevant?

    I think that's right. I've invested more in my system than I ever thought I would and I like it, but you guys sell DACs for what my whole system cost so I'm not sure where high end starts these days. I bought what I have because I like the sound and I could afford it without ignoring any...

    Maybe it’s always been like this…

    Interesting. Why would someone do that? Using it to negotiate elsewhere? That would be low.

    Maybe it’s always been like this…

    I think the internet and social media are much to blame. People can sit behind a keyboard and lob insults without actually looking their target in the eye-false courage. Consider how often the words "fool," "idiot," "stupid," show up on the audio forums and its a clue. Somehow, folks think that...

    Have Audiophiles and the Audiophile Press Become Irrelevant?

    This went downhill faster than a Secretariat furlong. Just a humble observation from an ignorant consumer- we do ourselves no credit by getting nasty over listening to music, and all of us can be guilty of that from time to time. FWIW, it seems obvious to me that the big publications are...

    Have Audiophiles and the Audiophile Press Become Irrelevant?

    Well trod ground, but some interesting points. Father Time is daily thinning the herd of classic boomer audiophiles who love many expensive boxes and yards of cables ( lifted 3 inches off the floor at considerable cost). The next generation down was raised valuing convenience and portability...

    Man says insured $6,000 shipment partially lost after one amplifier fails to arrive

    Not every unreasonable term that a party puts in a contract of adhesion will be enforced by courts, which might find the terms unconscionable, or void as against public policy. How courts would view a particular term will differ based on the facts and by state. I suspect contractual absolution...

    Master Artist Fresco on Absolute Sound

    I just saw a very well-done YouTube on the Absolute Sound channel concerning Master Artist speakers, made by one of our prominent forum members. The video provides a glowing review of Master Artist Fresco speakers. There is also an interesting interview with the two owners who are sitting in...

    Wilson Audio Unveils Stunning New Flagship Speaker

    I like to shoot horse races so a little speed is needed. On the other hand, the photos are just for me, and not that great I'm sure, so I have good enough, far from the best, just for fun stuff.

    Gobel Divin Monarque

    Obviously, a matter of personal taste, but I like the look. Kind of a middle linebacker, I'll crush the signal vibe.

    Wilson Audio Unveils Stunning New Flagship Speaker

    Yes, I'm a Canon guy, many are Nikon, but not a lot of gnashing of teeth about price in my experience.
