    Max432, Good post. Some personal context and a reminder of the purpose of audiophilia.

    How fast should my computer be?

    Always good to define your requirements in detail. What are you going to do with the new computer? Heavy photo editing in Photoshop is more demanding than web surfing or playing music (unless you upsample with a demanding algorithm.) Editing videos can be very demanding of CPU resources...

    CES 2016: Audio Engine

    Did either of you listen in that room or did you have the sneer in place when you walked in? Amir, do you post to inform others or to do put-downs? You certainly didn't inform anyone.

    Organizing your music collection

    You are free to use whatever methods you want. However, I do wonder about the statement "I listen to albums only". It is quite common to have more than one work on a CD. They may be performed by the same artists or not, they may be similar forms or not (concerto and sonata for example), they...

    JBL's strange upgrade path...

    I think that the specs that are different are things like how loud the monitors can play, distortion levels at dBl levels and presence of resonances. I've been curious about JBL's pro audio monitor strategy for some time. I think that they have rather long product cycles for their...

    JBL's strange upgrade path...

    I'm surprised by your reply. You seem to be spreaking of your own situation as though it applies to everyone. Further, you seem completely uninterested in why JBL has gone in their current direction.

    JBL's strange upgrade path...

    The State of High End Audio

    A worthwhile, thoughtful post. My interest in music and audio developed in the mid-late 60s with AR, KLH and Dynaco components being my idea of appropriate purchases. I did move up market slowly but the steep rise of gear prices left me behind. Sports cars, music and audio and nature...

    Digital Upgrade: Is Full Frame Worth it for Our Use?

    All well done, pleasing picture. I especially like that moth picture. Tell your daughter that men like a girl in a uniform.

    Digital Upgrade: Is Full Frame Worth it for Our Use?

    Time to get out to the wildlife refuges and get more bird pictures. I liked the shots you posted. The barn picture has color and interesting detail. The butterfly is my kind of content. My favorite was the picture of the girl. You captured a great smile! How about a link to more of your...
