sphinxsix Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I'm slightly afraid of the word 'style' in the audio context Glad the site is back. Happy New Year everybody! semente 1 Link to comment
Sloop John B Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Can I wish you the very best of luck with this new “style”. My main virtual residence is Pink Fish, so I don’t think the name actually makes much difference but dropping the computer from the title does make sense. .sjb Link to comment

Popular Post left channel Posted January 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2019 Overall, I like it the new approach. "Computer" is a bit limiting and very dated, I agree. What we discuss here is modern audio, period. But honestly, I find the word "Style" vaguely embarrassing. I can refer anyone in Silicon Valley to Computer Audiophile for information. But "Style"? Definition aside, some will take that to mean shallow, expensive, and pretentious. Not that I have a better idea. And the world is not all geeks and nerds, so OK, best of luck to you.

bobfa Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Chris, I am excited about the rebranding of the website and the new "style". When I set up my inlaws with a pair of Original Sonos Play 5's they were amazed at the sound and the flexibility. In my own home, more often than not music is playing out of an Amazon Echo because you can just tell it to play. Navigating the UI is zero effort! My family is extremely fortunate to have an award-winning Symphony Orchestra and concert hall just a few miles from home. Attending the New Years Eve concert last evening was a great reminder that at the heart of what Audiophile Style is about is the music. We build systems, help people, test, play, evaluate, and more to get the music just right! It is easy to obsess, get lost in the technology. For some, the journey is the goal. For others, this is a vocation. For myself and many others, this is about the MUSIC! We should all not forget to walk in other people's shoes sometimes. We are all the better for it! Chris, thanks for all the hard work! My Audio Systems Link to comment
mourip Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I also wish everyone all best in the New Year! And I especially want to thank Chris for the great site. I guess that that I will be the odd man out here but I think that what makes CA(AS?) stand out is that it is really the best site on the web for pursuing computer related audio topics. Nothing else comes close. I hope that the focus continues to be computer related advances otherwise there is a lot of competition for the regular audiophile meanderings..... ps. I almost did not sign back in this morning as I thought that the site has been hacked/pranked 🙂 "Don't Believe Everything You Think" System Link to comment

austinpop Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I too had reservations about the word “style,” but I understand the rationale, and I wish only the best for CA - oops AS - going forward! I love the infusion of new reviewers drawn from the AS community. That is really exciting to get fresh voices! My Audio Setup Link to comment
NOMBEDES Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Hoo Ray! Death to the audio "computer" I have never liked the computer part of computer audiophile...... Free at last, free at last.......
