Can I be straight up with you. No one I know, including myself in this, has ever said they can’t hear the difference between the sounds of capacitors. If someone claims to be a HEA audiophile and makes these types of claims, there’s no point for someone like me to talk to them. Do you honestly think I should be spending my time talking to them? Keep in mind I may have a project sitting in front of me where I have 10 caps ready for me to listen to and give my reports on. Is that me being rude or choosing to be practical? Now when that person takes the time to learn the differences we actually then can have something meaningful to talk about. But if they believe there are no sonic differences it’s unproductive for them to be talking to me or I them. I should be spending my time discussing the differences with the guy who is on the same page as me.
Like with this tuning thing. I’m honestly not interested in talking to the guy who isn’t sure it works, when I have thousands of guys to talk to who are actually tuning. If you tell me glupson that you aren’t sure if tuning works, what’s wrong with me saying "come back to me when you know it does and we can tune together"? It makes zero sense for me to try to sell tuning when I am engaging with people who already tune. I can share tuning with someone, and so can other Tunees, but if someone doesn’t believe or hasn’t tried it’s a mute point. I’m not going to beg someone to make an adjustment when I can have fun with those making adjustments. Why would someone who doesn’t "do" even post on a thread talking about doing? I’m never going to convince you or amg or prof or whoever. The only one who convinces you is you.
What we have on this thread is people who do are doing and people who aren’t, aren’t. You can pretty much point to them after reading a couple of their posts. You can also read on here when someone is getting really upset. I can’t control someone else’s temper. That’s all on that individual. What I can do however is ignore them, because they’re really just looking for an argument. People who make arguments are usually people who defend their own lack of doing a topic. You see there is no arguments when one takes the time to "do". Someone says "oh I’ve done that and didn’t hear a difference", well why talk to me about it then? I’d rather just move on from that type of person. Why talk to someone about hearing if they can’t hear it?
You know glupson, Geoff is so right. It’s one of those hobbies that is always going to go further if we have the will to do so. Someone who comes up on a thread like this and says "I’m done" probably shouldn’t even be on this thread. No one ever arrives in this hobby as long as there is one more recording to listen to, or the chance to hear more of that recording. The term walking is an action.
glupson, let me ask you to do something. Find Grannyring's posts about the OP and read it again, giving it some thought. Grannyring's view of the OP is correct.
