I was reflecting on the use of the word "style" in a world in which it is abused and misused. OTOH, it's only a name. It could become colloquially known as the A.S.S. forums.

I won't make the change unless I can figure a way to make it user selectable. Thanks for not making it mandatory. I find it hard to follow conversations when comments are organized that way, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Even Twitter displays replies with oldest at the top, when you open a tweet by clicking on the date. wgscott, 4est and mansr 1 2 Everyone wants to date my avatar. Link to comment

Popular Post regnaD kciN Posted January 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 14, 2019 Unfortunately, IMO, "Audiophile Style" makes me immediately think of the old "Audio-Video Interiors" magazine -- as if this forum is really about cool-looking high-end audio in which visual design is prioritized over audio quality.

LittlePea Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 @The Computer Audiophile will you now also change your name from "The Computer Audiophile" to... erm... "The Stylistic Audiophile" 😛 - got the AIFF on the APFS - Link to comment

JJinPDX Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Well, nah, I don't like the change. I used to belong to a online stereo group that was all about high end, from stereos to watches to cars, on and on. I got quite sick of the whole "style" thing, even though there was great input on music and gear by a few core folks. From a biz perspective, yes, good to move off of what at first seems a narrow "geek" perspective, but I hope you and others here stay true to the essentials, namely pushing the envelop and helping everyone find enjoyable listening at all levels of income and taste. Having said that, I recognize that going from a blog to a full business is tough, and I applaud what is happening. All the best to everyone! JJinPDX The Computer Audiophile 1 JJinPDX Link to comment

Don't worry about us becoming more about style than substance. To us, style is all about the way in which we do things. For example, right now I'm researching small single board computers that support Windows so I can try some leading edge renderers. The only style about that is that it's the way an audiophile / music aficionado would do it :~) Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
rhmmmm Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 I’m going to be blunt because I want to help you. “Audiophile Style” is not a creative name. It’s bland and generic. To be specific, in my case, I no longer feel a sense of excitement when I visit the site where I did previously. I don’t think anyone would be disappointed if you changed the name soon either back to Computer Audiophile or something better. I’m sure you can come up with something from the suggestions already made. Change is good. Bad change is not good. This is a bad change (in my opinion as an end consumer of your content).

Shadorne Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Interesting. There are countless links in countless audiophile forums that pointed to discussions and technical information on Computer Audiophile. These hyperlinks all over the Internet are now all broken and useless. These links from other sites brought you extra traffic and new subscribers. A simple website name change did not require a complete change in the domain. Domain and URL hyperlinks are what computers use to communicate. People see only what is presented to them and won’t care about URL details. You could have changed content and presentation without changing URL naming and locations for all your content. This aspect was very badly thought out. tmtomh 1 Link to comment
