General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Yep

And not only do we stun prospective customers with $20,000 interconnects, we're still doing things the way we did in 1980 and who but a boomer is going to be interested in that? HP mentioned passing a hi end store and seeing not one pair of headphones, not one iPod dock.

The equivalent would be teenaged me getting a copy of Stereo Review in 1970 that was full of stuff about shellac 78's and mono. Except that the speakers would have cost $100,000, half the price of the pair of Wilsons I just read about in TAS, and the 78's would have been audiophile ones, pressed on virgin shellac.

The irony is there's more great audio equipment at better prices than there has ever been -- but it gets lost in the noise.
