What would be the perfect name/title in your opinion for this special community here and abroad...everywhere where music lovers are walking this Earth and beyond (in space, by planes, private jets, by trains, by automobiles, by transit buses, metros, suspended tramways, bicycles, boats, jogging, walking, canoeing, skiing, ...@ home in front of the télé, computer screen, dedicated hi-fi stereo room, surround sound system setup, SSSS, ...)?

I am indifferent to the name, be it Computer Audiophile or Audiophile Style.  It is just a name.  If the owner of the forum cannot choose the name for his forum, then why should the members are allowed to choose his/her own user name.  Is it a double standard again?

This place is a sweet smelling rose, and would be by any other name.

Styling Audiophiles...

[Axial]

Audio forums are like computers; they do require updates once in a while, and a new refresh start in safe mode. 

 

Audiophiles are sound explorers; they test new gear, new cables, new electric junction boxes, new fuses, tubes, tweaks, fine-tuning and asimuth adjustment, proper balance level, volume control, acoustic room treatments, power chords, etc. 

Some are even music collectors (tapes, LPs, CDs), others expand their music server library. We keep buying the same album (DSOTM) over and over to get the best version (multichannel) and the best format (tape). ...Even the best pressing (LP from Germany and Japan). 

 

Computer audiophiles are not material physical people; they are interactive cyber space audiophiles with a spiritual audio philosophy (DAC implementation and FLAC). 

 

Computer audiophiles encompasse digital audio.

Style audiophiles encompasse both digital and analog audio.

 

It's not black & white because computer audiophiles (some) use CD/SACD HYBRID Universel 4K Blu-ray players (Pure Audio BR format included).

Plus, computer audiophiles (some) use a screen display to view and listen to music video concerts recorded live (ballets, operas, symphonies, rock concerts, amphitheater shows, cathedral/church chorales and organs). ...Bach, Beethoven, Botticelli and all...even Coltrane, Davis and Amadeus.

does a subscription to Audiophilestyle.com remove that red eyesore superphonica banner?

Maybe this is better something like a gold color.   Either that or why not have it flash rapidly between this and red.  That way it would be even more noticeable as an eyesore. 

 

Of course when it was CA having the unfilled CA was a nice touch at the end.  So maybe it needs a name change too.

I think that we should embrace the success passion associated to MQA as well as attract new generations of audiophiles.

 

I wherefore suggest a name change of this site to the more contemporary sounding: Millennial Quality Audiophiles

 

🤩

[Summit]

I admit MQA may not be super attractive after all, but what about:

• Splendid Audio - SA
• Splendid Audio Sense - SAS
• Audiophile Insight  - AI

[Summit]

Or - Splendid Audio Insight

Audiophiles are people who love music.  The rest you describe can generate a lot of noise.

Yes, music first and azimuth next.

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".

Go chase Kingmaker Darko around an audio show. 

 

The attempt at flattery in the site name doubles as insulation from unkind assessments in other quarters.  I'm pretty sure neither of us are the intended target being gathered under the tent. 

 

"AS" certainly has an element of Paul Allen hobnobbing with rockstars in his later, not younger years.

Audiophilia can be just that to some.  Just have a look here and see how many times you encounter the word "style" in not only the marketing copy, but also the "articles".  And besides, "style" rhymes with "audiophile".  You didn't notice that? 🙂

He could have called it Audiophool Stool.

How about <glyph>

 

it would also serve as an homage to another Minnesotan

[AudioDoctor]

I think Audiophile Style is just fine, but we need a tag line...  

 

I propose..

 

"We're not Minnesota nice, and we'll prove it!

 

 

edit: @The Computer Audiophile this isn't to say you're not nice, you are, just a general commentary...

Minnesota spice

[AudioDoctor]

If you guys all lived in MN, you could be outside on your deck, BBQing dinner, enjoying the beautiful sunny 68 degrees and low humidity, and arguing about audio wouldn't seem so important...
