This Must Be a Candidate For....

Longest Original Post in Audio Asylum History.

Just some short comments.....

Much of what you've stated I've been preaching here.... At least there's hope since you happen to be a lot younger than I am..... A pleasant surprise that made my day. Your post I'll go back to whenever I go into "audio depression".....

Someone once asked me why I post here. My answer is twofold- One is the more people learn about audio, such knowledge can be priceless. (I've learned more from here than any place else.) And two is there is a lot of good music out there amongst the muck. You just have to find it....

Great audio is born from great music. We have lots of great examples in both domains. We just need to build upon them. And cite the standouts in both domains.

And I love citing the obscure that I happen to think is exceptional.... Especially if it's also recent.....

The problem is most digital playback is crap. Just like with the music, you have to be diligent to find the good stuff. And contrary to popular belief, what's marketed today isn't better than what's been marketed ten or even 15 years ago. (I just got a Magnavox CD changer, and I think it's fabulous.)

And speaking of the Who, in case you haven't heard it, "Endless Wire", released last year, is a FABULOUS release. Both music and sound. Those old kids are alright.

Some other good artists in recent time are Nickel Creek, the Bad Plus, Charles Dutoit, Sufjan Stevens, Ana Torroja, and Gary Burton's Next Generation Band.

And for audio..... There is a designer in Phoenix named Don Allen. Remember that name. If you want his contact, email me.

For a guy who's 30, I say your post is one of the biggest signs of hope I've seen in quite some time.
