Popular Post extracampine Posted March 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 29, 2019 I've not frequented this site as much recently and am therefore a little out of the loop - but why was the name changed from Computeraudiophile to Audiophilestyle? I think I prefer the former as it is a clearer description of the site.

Popular Post extracampine Posted September 4, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 4, 2019 The problem here is the use of the term "style". This term serves to make our hobby sound superficial, image-oriented and somewhat ostentatious. The obvious connotation is to fashion - image-obsessed and transient. The use of this term here would seem to undermine the purpose of this site - taking the focus away from an approach based in science, electronics or computers and reinforcing the image of audiophiles being concerned with "style over substance". fas42, esldude and Ralf11 3 There are 2 types of people in this world - those who understand binary and those who don't.

Thanks for your reply Chris, and yes I am sure that my interpretation was not the meaning you had intended. It was just the flavour I got from the name and quite possibly what some other perhaps more outside observers might glean from it also. I can see however how the original name ComputerAudiophile was starting to sound a little dated, as these days with the emergence of all manner of network audio devices the computer no longer holds the pivotal role that it once did, say in the era of the CAPS v1 developments! Perhaps the word "digital" might be more apt than "computer" these days.....DigitalAudiophile....hmmm....certainly doesn't rhyme very well....
