High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground?

I agree with Metman. There is a ton of really good new music. I am truly sorry if some have not found it. I completely agree that its harder to find. I too have turned to radio. Here in New Orleans I listen to WWOz and it has turned me on to so many new artists as well as older groups that I would have never heard in multiple genres of music. They also play vinyl which I love.

I do agree with others that most of main stream music is really bad. I can name some main stream bands that I enjoy but the list is short. I have no explanation for this. I think music sales seem to be generated off a very youg crowd and it shows. Its not even college kids as much as 13 years old.

audiophiles are born, not made. that's my take. It's an inborn need to search for better sound and eventually possess it. It's the notion that rack systems and Ipods don't cut it and so begins the journey. Not everyone has this inside of them.

Really like this forum except Wolf putting me down. Glad to hear there is still creativity out there. I don't have time to find it. Would sure like to hear it on the top 40. Putting down my Fleetwood Mac?!! Now there's high end snobbery and fightin' words.

BTW, I think the comment on the ipod is incorrect. I think it is capable high quality audio, but most (many) people don't know it.

Where are you, big bad wolf? Are you listening to a live recording of Big Love and the following track on The Dance Landslide by the most underrated guitarist of his generation which features only Lindsey and his guitar and then Stevie and Lindsey's guitar and which awes everyone who hears it on my system? Or are you, as I suspect, paralyzed with PTS from your ancient musical lobotomy?
