What a sad world we now live in.......


What a sad world.....

Had to go to our local Wal-Mart for something for the wife and thought would check out CD,s while here.

Could not find them so asked where to be told they had decided to stop selling them in-store.

In fact the whole electronics section looked bare and desolate.

Pretty sure a sign of the buy online times we now live in.

That is the reason why I had bought 1,000CDs at 2,500$ during last 6 months.

They are on fire sale now.

But after few years, they may be valuable items no longer made.

I enjoy new collections of CDs.

Now I have around 2500 CDs.

While out of town for 3 weeks, I had a new experience

After using Soundmagic 11 earphone with Dell Laptop for 1 week, I found that they are quite listenable with internet streaming music.

Violin sounds natural without too much overtone.

Orchestra sound also balanced.

With this kind of highend demo music, this one work well with natural details.


Now I can understand why most young people including my adult children are happy with low end sound.

Actually they do not sound bad unless I pay too much attention to details and soundstage.

You do not need high end audio system to enjoy music.


High End audio is already doomed.

If you go to high end show, it is difficult to find people below 40 years old.
