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

No, but it makes me wonder: What is "cool" nowadays?

I'm not sure I know the answer. Do you?

Headphone related stuff might be the closest thing to "cool" in electronic entertainment nowadays, but I'm thinking that the concept of "cool things to own" may have finally run it's course. Unless you're talking about women and their ongoing addictions to shoes, clothes, and cosmetic refinements that is...

IMO, today's people don't want to think about things that might need care, cleaning, or maintenance. Everything useable must also be disposable - the more disposable, the better. If there is anything that is considered cool nowadays, it has as much to do with *concepts* (such as "connectivity" and "communication") as it does with any physical THING. If the home audio experience is to exist at all, it is best kept confined to one's own head.
