The penultimate or, more probably, antepenultimate issue of Cites & Insights, to wit Volume 19 Number 7 (November 2019), is now available for downloading at https://citesandinsights.info/civ19i9.pdf
This 44-page issue contains two essays:
Intersections: What’s the Big Deal? pp. 1-34
Most of this is about one particular Big Deal, and the heading for that section (actually three sections) should be a clue: Fiat Lux.
The Back pp. 34-44
The final set of little snarky items about a range of things–including a small set of updates on audiophile-approved system prices. The short version: leaving out digital sources and cables, you can get an audiophile-approved system (with speakers and turntable) for as little as $750…or as much as $694,000. For that matter, if you want a Class A (the best, price no object) system and $694,000 seems a bit steep, you can get by for $21,600.
