Selling Sound
Five high-end audio sales people tell it like it is.
My high-end sales career started in the late 1970s at Sound By Singer in New York City. I had a grand time playing with the world's best audio gear for 16 years, and then switched gears and became an audio reviewer. I quickly learned that my sales experience was terrific preparation for my second act in the business and that reviewers don't have access to anywhere near the variety of products that salesmen do. That took some getting used to.
Nowadays when I want to know what's going on, I head to the stores.

VPI 30th Anniversary Classic Review
Groove Master
VPI currently offers seven turntable models, but the Cliffwood, New Jersey, company didn't start out with turntables. They initially made record cleaning machines that literally sucked dirt out of the grooves. The cleaning machines are still a significant part of VPI's business. It's a fact: Spotlessly clean records sound better. They just do.
After 30 years in the business, VPI is celebrating with the aptly named 30th Anniversary Classic Turntable. more...

Recycling Revisited
Where are we in the great “producer responsibility” debate?
When we last tackled the issue of recycling we discussed how most everyone in the consumer electronics field agrees there is a serious problem with e-waste. But who is responsible for the cost of recycling? Is it the manufacturer, the retailer, the consumer or the government?
A year later, the debate still rages and, from a legal perspective, is heating up. more...
