Certainly an improvement over some of the silly statements you see. I think the important thing to keep in mind is that everyone has a different outlook on life. A small improvement to one person is life altering to another. Peoples statements need to be evaluated almost as methodically as the gear itself. It can be costly to take the word of someone with unchecked passion about something.
Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes
I enjoy the information presented on Audiogon, especially when posters talk about minor changes (or tweaks, which is a word I don't really like) to their system. (I also like the comedy). The problem is when everything is SUPER IMPORTANT and impactful, nothing is, relatively speaking.
I propose we institute a new scale for system changes (or even specific individual component upgrades) similar to how used records are graded. Here goes the grading system:
A - heard a strikingly positive, noticeable change as soon as the stylus hit the record
B - heard a positive change as soon as the stylus hit the record
C - hear an audible, minor change as soon as the stylus hit the record
D - was able to hear an easily noticeable improvement when comparing back and forth to previous state
E - was able top hear an improvement over previous state comparing back & forth
F - when listening intensely and comparing, was able to hear a slight improvement versus previous state
G - when comparing was barely able to hear an improvement
#2 - keep all political opinions off Audiogon, we can hear enough of the garbage all over the place
Whaddya think?
