Where Coming Back

Actually, the article indicates no such thing. Quite the opposite. It's talking about getting good sound on a budget. He-looo!

"Where Coming Back," indeed!

I thought I herd something too that affect, but leave it too the New York Times to bee the one to bare the gnus.

The article tells me that some younger people are beginning to appreciate quality of sound over quantity.

Bodes well for audio manufacturers, mega buck or not.

Best.

Nice read, but of course a few cases cited as examples in an article does not necessarily mean anything is "coming back".

I like this part though:

"And while many audio companies have struggled or gone under in the wake of the iPod’s popularity, the iPod has also created millions of potential audiophiles. “You have a whole generation getting music over the Internet, from streaming, tablets, iPhones,” Mr. Brown said. “It’s introduced many more people to music.”"

High end audio community of snotty dinosaurs: Hint, hint, nod, nod, wink wink, eh?

"listening to “Aja” in 1977 on a pair of Altec Lansings was a spiritual experience."

Yes it was, baby, but I preferred to listen on OHM Hs. :^)

Darn younger generation just doesn't get it....
