Why No Sales?

General Rants 'n' Raves
Submitted by James Edward on

Every day a new economic indicator points downward. Most retail stores near me have been putting many items on sale- many substantially.
Yet whenever I visit my local hi-fi dealer, or Music Direct, Audio Advisor, etc., the prices seem etched in stone. I worked for a number of years doing home theater installs, and know that audio equipment has quite a markup, on the order of 40-50 per cent.
Thank you for reading...

New Decemberists LP

Forums
The Universal Pulse
Submitted by linden518 on

Got an email today from The Decemberists' PR person who read my selfdivider.com blog (which I haven't been doing a good job updating)... she wants me to listen to the advanced copy of The Hazard of Love, the new LP from The Decemberists that's due out in March & hopefully write about it. Sweet... I asked her if she can send me the vinyl I've read about the album, supposed to be this 17-song suite with a narrative, kind of like a rock opera... can't wait. Will let y'all know more later...

APC on Sale

The Entry Level
Submitted by bobb on

Well, I couldn't think of where else to post this since there is no "Other" category under Audio Hardware (hint) and I want to stay away from General Rants n Raves

Anyway, came across this - http://www.audioholics.com/news/industry-news/apc-silver-blowout-sale/

Seems like very attractive pricing. What do you all think of the H10 and H15 products? Good buy at these prices?

Thanks,

Bob

The value of music as a commodity, and as one of mankind's wonders, has never been in such flux. Retail record shops are dying, the former major labels are focused on making records for kids (the same kids they're suing), and the business overall remains wedded to an incredibly short view (get a hit or get out), but the music itself continues to trickle through to those who want it—and, yes, on some level would die without it.
