RE: 'High-End Systems Around the Globe' - What happened to that site?

Posted by Gag Halfrunt on February 23, 2011 at 10:34:19:

I think it went the way of all things in audio these days. It died from lack of interest. Insert some of Google's analytics into your own blog, see just how many people go visit.

And I take a COMPLETELY different view to yours about the magazines, especially back in the day. If it weren't for the likes of TAS and Stereophile, tubes and turntables would have died off long ago. Until they lost momentum, those mags stopped audio from becoming a footnote to the Walkman. As it happened, they kept the faith until audio became a footnote to the iPod.

They are a shadow of their former selves and have grown tired and tiresome, dreary and decadent. But they helped keep audio as a hobby alive for decades more than it should have, and for that I thank them, rather than take the easy route and add to the whiny-old-man chorus.
