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

Then...

Perhaps you are simply more expansive than I am, but then again I have always been a pop whore.

The problem is not that there isn't a "whole lotta crap" as you put it, the problem is that nobody knows about it. There is no culture of popular music anymore, it is dead. Go look on youtube for these "gems" of yours and they'll be lucky to have 4 thousand hits, if they are even there. Meanwhile the "dreck" on the radio has a half million, or more.

So yes, if we do lots of work, talk to people, get lucky, we may find hidden gems. However we shouldn't have to be doing any of that. If the music industry has a gem, why the hell are they not shoving it on our face? Same goes for audio. With tons of work on their part people can find out about good audio gear and buy it. Why should they have to?

Do you have to do that to find the best refridgerator? Is there some hidden community of refer enthusiasts (like this place) that buy and own cutting edge refer technology nobody else knows about? No.

Audio is dead.

The pop music culture is dead.

Sad, but that is the truth of it.



It's all about the music...
