Ah, the "party line".
As if the writings of Ken Kessler aren't representative of a party line.
It's just a different party line.
The new market for things like iPod/iPad docks and high quality earphones
has immense amounts of cash in it, which overall offsets losses
elsewhere.
There's no need for me to drive across town to suffer with a hovering
salesman who seems to think he's technically competent, and instead just
click a few boxes at Amazon and wait 3 days.
Well, that's true, anyway. Sad really. Brick & Mortar stores bring a sense
of community to the local audiophiles. A place to meet like-minded
spirits. With that fast disappearing, audiophiles will be even more
isolated from one another.
There are numerous online forums that are providing a sense of community to
a wide range of audiophiles, again away from hovering salesmen.
