I wanted to share the latest installment of this series for Positive Feedback here:
Sonic Satori - What is the Future of the High-End Part VI: Can't We All Just Get Along?
After all, it was in 09 (when I joined Head-Fi) that I started this series, diving head-first
into high end computer audio/desktop/and personal audio!!
After hailing from the wonderfully strange world of high end two-channel, there I was: At RMAF 2009, watching my mentor and
dear friend Harry Pearson address the audience about the "Past, present, and future of the high end".
To my surprise, he asked me to get up and speak. There's a rather embarrassing video of it on youtube
here. But it was a surprise because he had already floored me by saying he was going
to read from my original essay for his speech, but instead he put me on the spot, and asked me to address
the crowd! I was pissed and nervous - but it sort of re-kickstarted this sonic journey for me. And here we are.
[size=small]I was already a fan of headphones, being a tech house DJ for many years, but a whole new world[/size]
[size=small]of high fidelity through new and curious avenues had entered my world back then, and lit a giant spark in[/size]
[size=small]me that has NEVER burned out thanks to ALL OF YOU HERE!![/size]
[size=small]Since then I've written essays in this series spotlighting Head-Fi and personal audio, such as: [/size]
What is the Future of the High End Part IV
iFi: the New Gateway Audible Drug & Personal Audio Explosion
I felt obligated to share my enthusiasm for this hobby with the old guard, whether they liked it or not!!
and when I saw that Steve Guttenberg retweeted the latest of this series this morning, I was PSYCHED.
Steve's always been a great supporter of my efforts, but only when something seems to truly resonate with him
does he share my work in his space - and I'm honored by that.
So I hope you guys dig this one!
And I hope we can get some intriguing discourse flowing here.
