There was a posting on Twice this morning about a panel discussion on the potential and challenges for the audio industry at the Digital Downtown show put on by CEA last weekend in NYC. Did any of you happen to attend? One of the interesting challenges discussed at this panel was how to raise market awareness of audio quality.

Do you find yourself increasingly dubious about cable manufacturers' performance claims? Has this affected your spending habits?

There are an increasing number of articles on the Web regarding cables/speaker wire and their sonic properties. Combine this with some "blind" listening sessions (like the one substituting a coat hanger) and any sensible person has reason to pause.

As I write, it is garage-sale season here again in Santa Fe, and a recent sign near my home advertised "Over 3000 LPs, good condition, low prices." To my surprise, the seller wasn't a yuppie enamored of his new CD player but a true collector discarding the duplicates and dogs from his collection. 30 minutes later, many LPs heavier&mdash;including a mint Flanders &amp; Swan <I>At the Drop of a Hat</I> (footnote 1)&mdash;and not too many dollars lighter, I returned to a great night's listening courtesy of the black vinyl disc.
