Some members of the Philippine chapter of the Audio Engineering Society (AES) invited me for coffee two Thursdays ago through a friend, Andrew Sevilla, who also happens to be an AES member of good standing. Andrew owns and manages AMX Audioworks, maker of both professional and consumer-grade audio equipment. It was an afternoon of exciting and engaging dialogue on the future direction of hi-fi. Some even suggested that the future points to sound equipment with no movable parts, which is highly possible as shown by the flash or USB drive.

Getting a lot of feedback for somebody who has just warmed up his seat is certainly gratifying. It goes to show that the number of  "audio nuts," as my wife jokingly calls us, is steadily increasing. As expected, questions from new readers center on how they can make out good sounds from bad.
