One year ago today, November 20, 2007, I started Computer Audiophile. On that first day the site had zero visitors. The total number of visitors during the first week was zero. Nine days after the site launched the visitors started to arrive. All three of them! One year later Computer Audiophile is viewed in 165 countries around the world and the number of readers continues to grow dramatically every week. Some great components have been reviewed over the last year and some not so great components have been sent packing back to the manufacturer. But reviews are only a small percentage of the site's information. Thanks to all the readers the Computer Audiophile forums are a very enjoyable place full of great information, very intelligent people, and an atmosphere like no other.

Readers have a lot to look forward to at the end of 2008 and all of 2009. Some great components are in the review queue and some very informative articles are waiting in the wings to be published. The Consumer Electronics Show in January will be full of music servers and CA will be there blogging live from the Venetian. There are many more "things" in store for 2009 here at CA. For a limited time only the Computer Audiophile Store will be open at Cafe Press. There are shirts, hats, mouse pads, stickers, etc... available with the brand new trademarked Computer Audiophile® logo printed on them. No need to order in the next ten minutes because you won't receive a free set of knives or any magic putty, but feel free to check out the store when you get time. Computer Audiophile Store at Cafe Press. Speaking of time, it's a great time to be a computer audiophile. The snowball is rolling downhill and there is no stopping this movement of improvement in sound quality and convenience. I promise you haven't seen anything yet :-)
