Look Beyond the Tech Giants
I am hooked on a podcast called Acquired, in which two smart guys do a deep analytical dive, typically lasting three or four hours, on a single successful company such as Coca-Cola or Trader Joe's. Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal, a pair of venture capitalists, are especially adept at explaining what's behind the success of such tech giants as Alphabet (symbol GOOGL, $320), the former Google, which recently merited 11 hours and 42 minutes of dialogue all by itself.

Your Questions, My Thoughts
Fixed-income markets remain in a tight price and yield range, dividend stocks are steady, and real estate investment trusts are calm. Although oil prices are low, energy funds and partnerships maintain ample payouts. So, I have nothing actionable to say about the big picture, mindful that conditions can change in a flash.

Hi-fi shows, Capital Audiofest, and the Doshi Evolution Phono
I was heading back home to New York in my old Mercedes diesel on a Sunday evening, having just attended the annual Capital Audiofest near Washington, DC. Riding shotgun was fellow Stereophile scribbler Ken Micallef, and as we puttered along the straight, featureless lower half of the New Jersey Turnpike, we started to reminisce about our audio show experiences.

Traveling through time and space
In the April 2024 issue of this magazine, a piece by Editor Jim Austin appeared in the “As We See It” space. It was titled “On assessing sonic illusions,” and it has haunted me for more than a year. Jim’s thesis was that a music recording is a “synthetic, whole-cloth creation ... a complete fabrication.” He writes: “Very few recordings correspond to an actual performance. Most are studio concoctions with pieced-together instrumental tracks and artificial ambience that document no sonic event that ever occurred.”

David and Alma Wilson must be doing something right. They’ve been married for 50 years, and for 36 years, they’ve owned and operated Accent on Music on Main Street in Mount Kisco, New York, about an hour north of New York City. In a recent, lively Zoom conversation with the Wilsons, it became apparent that staying the course is a viable approach, for marriage and for business.

How to Pay for Long-Term Care
A couple of months ago, I wrote that many Americans significantly underestimate how long they could live in retirement (see “Living in Retirement,” Dec.). With the possibility of a 30-year retirement becoming more common, retirees need to plan for so-called longevity risk to make sure their assets last a lifetime. And the longer you live, the more likely you'll need to pay for some form of long-term care. That can range from assistance with activities of daily living to in-home care to a nursing home stay.
