Have you been told yet today cal3713?@audio2design
So many condescending people in this thread but I am your target. You need a life and some perspective and perhaps a lesson in objectivity.
Indeed, I definitely need a life. After my best friend was murdered I lost my dream job, a 17-year academic career, a 5-year relationship, am bored out of my mind, and just had to pack up my system because I'm being forced to risk my life and move across the country for a job that provides zero enjoyment during the middle of the worst health crisis of the past 100 years.
Regarding perspective, thankfully I've only lost a 93 year old grandmother to covid and actually have a job and get paid so I'm not suffering acutely like so many out there. So many people are losing dear family members and are worried about feeding their families every day right now...
If you could just reflect on the number of threads you participate in that devolve into unhelpful bickering like this one, I'd really appreciate it. Obviously others are also guilty, but you really do attack people a lot and then talk about how dumb they are while citing your superior experience and knowledge. I'm probably just more sensitive to it from you because I got swept up in such accusations a while back, sorry...
And sorry for the off-topic post folks. As I said in the "angry audiophile thread" I just wish we could all try to help each other learn about music reproduction without the personal attacks. Education without condescension. I'll work on getting better at it myself.
