Welcome to my Blog!

Some think this is a great way for me to raise issues, ask questions and, possibly, stir up some controversy. No problem I thought, I seem to do that as easily as breathe! The catch is that you get to answer back.

So here goes... my first Blog.

The Hi-Fi industry is in crisis. Faced with falling sales, internet shopping and the iPod it is in a crisis of confidence. It thinks no one loves it enough to keep it in business. Has it been delivering less than it promised long enough for it to be found out? Is it now just too uncool? Has the iPodisation of music kicked high quality music reproduction into touch?

Or is this an opportunity for Hi-Fi to recolonise the territory and bring real quality to internet/computer/WiFi sourced music?
