    Which AV Products Should Come Back?

    Just for nostalgia, it would be kind of fun to get an old 8-track deck, go inside and add a good DAC, replace the display with a little LCD, replace the tape head with a USB socket, and then get an old tape and fit it with a big ass SSD and a USB plug to align with the socket inside the deck and...

    Which AV Products Should Come Back?

    I'm with ya, brother! These are the speakers I'm listing to now. The speakers I bought with my first "real" stereo system back around '76 when I was 16. Not the exact speakers. I eventually sold them but bought another pair from a local guy about 8 years ago when I was feeling nostalgic. Not...

    Which AV Products Should Come Back?

    P.S. I think such a design would be popular among men as well. At least those whose sense of good taste hasn't been completely destroyed by testosterone. :D se

    Which AV Products Should Come Back?

    I think something from the past whose time for a comeback is upon us are the large, credenza-size console stereos from the '60s and '70s. Starting with the earliest days of radio, audio-related consumer gear was designed after furniture. It was meant to look like it actually belonged in your...

    I haven't any doubts as to your sincerity here. I just feel that it was unfortunate that at the end of the day you chose to go with the wholly Chinese-sourced Tartan branded cables. Yet all those Chinese companies that are making HDMI cables now, at some point also had nobody who had ever...

    Agreed. Ditto. Though Mexico's largely a rather corrupt shithole so I would consider them only marginally "democratically run." Quite so. Pardon me for being blunt here, but your Tartan line indicates that it's really not all that important to you. That's because most everything...

    By the way, are we not already so inundated with advertising on the I n t e r n e t that Audioholics needs to use its own members' posts to create even more ads? Does anyone else here find this just a bit insidious? se P.S. I edited "I n t e r n e t" to keep that from being turned into an ad.

    Hello, Kurt! Not getting that message, or simply not caring about that message? Might I suggest perhaps diversifying your marketing efforts a bit and not relying so heavily on a bunch of wankers on audio forums? :D Well, there are always those who will not be convinced. Though I...

    Why China of course. Your point? The price is less, but what about the costs? Nah. Need to look in the mirror. And even more responsible for our own. Yes. That's because we're a rather shallow lot whose self esteem is largely driven by our material possessions. And we really...

    Nope. No crossed cables at all. Some of you need to take a little time and actually read what's been written and do a little research. se

    Yes, that's Blue Jeans Cable. But the brouhaha here is over Blue Jeans' Tartan brand cables which are just cheap, ready-made cables from China. http://www.tartancable.com se

    From Clint DeBoer's original article: So? What has technological content to do with anything? That's why they're called design patents and not utility patents. Fundamentally design patents are really no different than copyright. The only difference is that design patents cover the ornamental...
