Aidiogon is Da Bomb!


I just wanted to say how lucky I feel to have ventured onto this forum. The other forums have a "ban first, ask questions later" feel to them. That includes AVS, AVNirvana, Audioholics and the failed engineer who started a website so he could use his leftover equipment to measure whatever anyone sent in(no need to go there as that has been well addressed in other threads). Here I can say i love a certain cable and no one lobs a flame grenade yapping how I was "ripped off". I give the "virtual system" member pages 5 stars as it is like audio porn for gear heads who simply love to either show off their rooms or simply lust over systems some other members have curated. The courtesy I have received from some of the members with kilobuck systems is amazing. I an often treated like a VIP even though my system may be humble comparing to some other members here. No one gets in my face about liking Atmos, MQA or whatever. In other forums that is basically a kamikaze mission if you post it. I also like the mods who seem professional in my experience not a pea brained imbecile with authority issues like some of the other dopey sites I have visited (see above).

I noticed some bitchy little audio karens whining and moaning about stuff in some various threads and it made me ask myself why I like being a member so decided to post.

"nattering nabobs of negativism"; Credit Spiro Agnew for that. Those of us old enough to remember.

Pat Buchanan (remember him?) did most of the Agnew's speechwriting, including this gem, which would seem to often apply to this forum:

"A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals ."
