Popular Post Dr Tone Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 The content here has always been on (digital) technical side. Subjective content galore but also loads of objective content. Style doesn’t describe that for me. The first thing I thought of was the audioaficianado site when I saw the new name... esldude and 4est 2 Roon Rock->Auralic Aria G2->Schiit Yggdrasil A2->McIntosh C47->McIntosh MC301 Monos->Wilson Audio Sabrinas Link to comment

Popular Post DavidZ Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 Sorry Chris, I have to join the dissenters on this. I am a diehard fan of the site for almost a decade. CA may have been outmoded in terms of the scope, reach and ambition of the site, but it was real, original and proud of the techie audio lovers at the core of the hobby. "A working class hero is something to be," said John Lennon, who understood the importance of roots. "Audiophile style" doesn't suggest that at all. However, I still love the site AS is. ;<] -- David jzahr and lucretius 2 Link to comment
Popular Post left channel Posted January 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2019 OK. I've been trying to suppress this further comment, but I have to say I would have renamed the site "Modern Audiophile". And it's not our site, we can pile on all we want, yet Chris doesn't have to listen to us and is probably already numb to all our whining. It's not like this is a poll or something. esldude, RichardSF, Doug A and 1 other 2 2 Everyone wants to date my avatar. Link to comment

wgscott Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Would it really make that much difference to you if he called it acme-tunes.com ? It has been Audiophilestyle for awhile; it isn't going to change just because some people don't immediately fall in love with the name. It would be expensive, disruptive, indecisive, and douchie to change the name yet again. Get over it. The Computer Audiophile 1 Link to comment
Popular Post The Computer Audiophile Posted January 3, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2019 OK, last words from me on the name. There are many many things that go into naming a site. I'm OK with people disagreeing on the name. However, please spend the next roughly five years thinking about a good name, kicking around ideas about why one selects a name that is or isn't descriptive, research the hell out of it, make sure you own the domain name or can afford to purchase one that you don't own, etc... That's what I did. Chances are you may end up at a different conclusion than what came off the top of your head in this thread. No worries though. I'm not mad or frustrated. I expected much worse actually. After we went nuclear and replaced the entire site software I thought the world was ending. I expected something similar this time, but the feedback has been very pleasant. The PMs and emails from those in and outside the industry have been wonderful.

esldude Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Not crazy about the name. I like The Modern Audiophile suggested by left channel. But I bet it was already taken. The content is what matters though. Maybe Modern High Fidelity. Bits for Best Sound? Eargasm in the 21st century? (With props to Duck Dodgers) The Modern Brain on High End Audio? So now you know why I was never in marketing. 😋 And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain.
