He Just Found Us!

Just stumbled on this site, great stuff. I didn't know it existed. Am I an audiophile? I don\\'t know. I do have a $60,000 system (including turntable, of course)and I am a 60 year old, retired, die-hard tube gear guy. Like you I got interested in the high end not because I liked equipment (although I do), but because I like the music. I began the slide down the slippery slope of investing in better sound, when a new found musician friend had me try plugging a $50 outboard DAC into my CD player in the early 90s. I heard the difference and liked it. Just as I can hear the better sound of LPs today vs CDs.

At any rate, I stumbled upon your May 2009 "On being Gizmodoed...Hydrogenated" and the pieces leading to it. I just want to commend you for such a well-written, intelligent piece, and also to tell you I am thrilled to have discovered your site. And more importantly, to thank you for your continuing efforts to educate the young about better sound. They and we ha! ve been cheated. I could happily live in a digital music world if the industry took it to its potential and focused more on quality than quantity. Meanwhile, I will take the snap, crackle & pop of LPs.

Thanks for what you do.
