It's getting bad...

I think they call it "HD Radio". It don't seem to be selling all that well. I once heard it interfering with an analog AM station I was listening to on a road trip. I had to do some MAJOR tweaking of the tone controls to get it listenable. Those pulsed tones are damn annoying!

Some of those folks who want cheap consoles don't know bleep about how they SHOULD work in working condition and think if all the knobs and the platter turn and it spits out audio of some kind that means it works.

There are also others whose eyes are bigger than they're wallets...If you get the phrase I'm bastardizing.

I'm in the later camp sometimes....For instance I have two Heathkit A-7E 7Watt monoblocks that I LOVE the sound of, and want two more of for quadraphonic/dolby surround operation. I couldn't find one, even a project set, for less than 100$ back when I had that to spend. I'm now trying to make an OTL tube amp out of some obscure sweep tubes(to the audio phools who drive tube prices insanely high). Just about everything I need I have or can get cheap, but I'm having a heck of a time sourcing lytics of the values I need in a price range I can afford....It's getting to the point where I'm probably going to have to sell stuff to have funds to do stuff.
