The Computer Audiophile Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 Thanks for the kind words and honest feedback so far. This site wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all of you. I value all opinions. You guys have forgotten more than I’ll ever know. Last time we had a major site change, as @Superdad mentioned, all hell broke loose. I prepared myself well in advance this time. I can’t please everyone all the time, but I promise to steer the ship in the right direction. I think 99.9999% of you will like the added content in addition to more digital articles. Most of us have audio systems that require speakers, cables, and amps and could use a different take on those products. Well, except for the cables. We don’t review cables. pkane2001 1 Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted January 2, 2019 Author Share Posted January 2, 2019 By the way, did you guys see the Beaglebone single board computer embedded in the Boulder 1110 preamp Danny reviewed today?

Popular Post Jud Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 Happy New Year and new brand! As a user I really enjoy how you're always considering how to improve the site. It's helped me immeasurably over the years to enjoy my music more, and enjoy more music.

PeterG Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Congratulations, Chris! It's a pleasure to be on the site and also to see an entrepreneur succeed at something he loves. But I don't believe you when you say digital will always be the focus. The guy who wanted a TAS system 20 years ago, now wants to crush TAS (in very friendly and respectful way). That's awesome. But for Audio Style to have enough audiophile style to topple the old regime, it will need to pursue beautiful sound with every tool available. I look forward to cheering you on! Link to comment
darkmass Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Chris, are you trying to drive out objectivists? "Style" is very subjective. Link to comment

RichardSF Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Sorry but I don't like "Style" at all and you could have chosen a better word. Anybody who looks at the name will think that the website is devoted to audio products for home decor and fashion accessories. darkmass 1 Link to comment

Discussion of replacing it with one with more audiophile cred starting in 3...2...1... Nice new look to the place, Chris. But still instantly familiar to long-term inhabitants.

rando Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 @wgscott the better puerile response would be the cool Carl Sagan in sunglasses gif altered to read Dat AS. Sincerely, a younger person The image this metamorphical change conjures for me is the dressed down 'style' prominently on display across the Midwest and at finer high end audio shows.

davide256 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 the RSS feed to Daily Audiophile is broken. Not a fan of the name change. While Computer Audiophile may be limiting for scope, Audiophile Style sounds more like the mission is audio furniture. Regards, Dave Audio system Link to comment
