Just mail me then:

What I get from the mail back system here is the only address
I have for you. If you are not webmaster or whatever,
then I don't have good address to send you things.

Far as the thread goes I don't have much if any contact with
high end audiophines and supply shops. The local one that's left here
is pretty much full of the snooty types I'm used to encountering in
them.

Far as DIY goes for younger people, you prob'ly right. But I
think that's a form versus content thing. What's more important:
the form or the content? Content comes from cable tv which can be
broadcast in stereo, free air and satellite radio and audio streams
bring radio. and then there's 'home theatre.' Home theatre with
vhs and dvd, cds etc provide for time shifting and on-demand viewing.
But it has also meant the balkanization of what was once a theatrical
experience. But it's kids who fill up the multiplexes so who's to
say what age group is out of sync?
