More potential bad news for some big names...

fact number 4 : in a crumbling unstable  world the young look for easy and light audio affordable components...

Fact number 5 :

Improved technology at very low cost which did not exist before revolutionize the traditional market...

Fact number 6 :

the internet accessibility of information about acoustics among audiophiles makes the high-end products less and less attractive because S.Q. result from knowledge not from marketing, result from basic common knowledge applied not from costlier upgrade which are not always a real new technological improvement anyway .

Fact number one: nobody NEEDS hi-fi.

Fact number two: hi-fi systems costing more than $10,000 are Veblin goods.

Fact number three: fidelity is only a relevant concept when listening to acoustic music such as classical or vintage jazz.

if Andrew Robinson's name keeps coming up: he is very smooth... on camera

not on camera he is an arrogant thin skinned bully. But that's just what I experienced in the comments several times.

Back to the subject:- re @deep_333  if I get old, I will sure give away everything I can. It better be enjoyed  by someone(s) long before I am gone :)

Apparently, Robinson sunk his financial wellbeing due to awful low value hifi purchases and had to move to the sticks (catch a fish/squirrel for dinner or go hungry, etc).  It's quite possibly the wife who manages the finances now and keeps the lad above water.....At the least, he's not some vile hillbilly, i would categorize him as just the avg hifi nerd, thinks he's more socially polished than he actually is.

Hey. That’s you in there ya? Awesome. Love the lift and dial going vertical flat in a second and a half. Now if we just had those led red leds on the lower dash with double gauges on audio gear - well I am in. Bravo - thanks for sharing. Very cool.  

All these Lo-Fi brands will die with the Retailers that sell them.
