Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!!

This article is so insightful to this forum and the toxicity in the community. (My Opinion)

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?

I know I have contributed to the toxicity here and will try to be a better citizen. Hopefully some will read this and see they are part of the problem (LOL)

Some will not and continue to play their roll as the Toxic Avenger.

There is a particular board on a specific forum that was hidden from the outside world because of how horrible it was. Where personal politics and racism was the norm 24-7 and one member even committed suicide after months of abuse. We watched him fight with other members on a daily basis and get a lot of heat back. He was fine most of the time when dealing with him on a individual basis but then he descended into some really horrible commentaries about race and certain countries and he went down the rabbit hole into some dark places.

Websites like ASR hold zero interest for me because a lot of the users are just there to be “right” and make others feel very small because their views don’t align with certain points of view.

To sin is to not live your own life, your best life. That truly is missing the mark, the greatest sin of them all. May we never be old men looking back on our lives and remember how in the fourth grade on the first day of school when we realized with regret that we wasted an entire summer watching cartoons and doing a lot of nothing. Only we won’t be looking back on one summer, We’ll be looking back on our life. Live it, and anyone who would  get in our way can F off. This is the only life we will likely get, and it’s much too special, too precious, not to live to the fullest, and certainly not to live for someone else.

Well there are some people on here that think unless your system costs over 10k, your playing crap and don't know anything, about anything....

And these people connect costly gear to a noisy grid and with no controls of vibrations, and especially important no acoustic serious consideration, save at best minimalistic acoustic treatment.... No acoustic control.... They call that being an audiophile because they hear that amplifier for example sound different...

Ears versus measuring tool....

But this duality has no sense and is completely meaningless in psycho-acoustic....
