In Reply to: Stereophile's New PC Audio Website posted by John Atkinson on October 5, 2011 at 13:39:09:
Was excited to see s'phile's entry into the computer audio realm, but this thread makes me think twice about the PC audio scene. The site's been up for, what, 2 days? Talk about taking the fun out of the hobby. I thought the old SET vs. high powered tube amp debate was bad, but this is the worst of that with none of the style points. I'll stick with vinyl and my mac + "plug and play" usb dac for lazy moments where I only care about the the music, or some music, any music, and not any of the other wonderful aesthetic joys that come with my system.But, yeah, you guys are dead on about the dirty advertising cash. We'd be much better off to shut down the ad based publications entirely and let...er...the inmates run the asylum.
