Good retrospective on the DIY community...

John Atkinson's AA posts about DIY are also pretty good. He says DIYers are just not a big enough community. Not big enough to justify column space in Stereophile. He even recommends the smaller publications that cover DIY well, like Glass Audio, Vacuum Tube Valley, Audio Xpress and a few others.

Somehow DIYers just don't get the respect they deserve. Hobbyist DIYers jump-start high-end audio. High end audio enjoys commercial success. Commercial success pushes out the hobbyist DIYers. If ya can't make a buck from 'em, who needs 'em?

Thanks for your post; was good reading!
