Seems to me there are a lot of questions being posed around here by a new(er) generation of readers, moving up from their i-whatevers into the world of proper hi-fi.
How's about starting a series of articles going through the basics of how hi-fi works, what the components do (or should do), what to look, sorry, listen, for, etc.?
You could cover digital sources, turntables, integrated amps, pre / power combos, DACs, speakers, interconnects, speaker cables, room acoustics, racks & stands, valve amps vs. solid state, floorstanders vs stand mounts vs bookshelf speakers, you name it.
Might boost the circulation a bit more than veering off into reviewing playboxes or X-stations...
