Why so many angry audiophiles?

«We can disagree like co-working standing trees, or like concurrential errand beasts in the same eco system. Human have "culture" then they have this choice»-Anonymus Smith


« Men agree to disagree except woman but well wait! i think it is the reverse»-Groucho Marx

I am not sure there is any connection between "audiophile" and "music."

Sure there is - audiophiles use music to listen to their equipment...

I dont know your musical culture, but no audiophile use Bach or Scriabin mainly and only  to test his audio system... 😁

By the way for an educated musician or audiophile, testing natural timbre is almost immediate experience...

When all is right we listen the music not the sound....Dont trust urban jokes too much....An audiophile, save a few neurotical obsessive mind that focus on compulsive upgrading purchase chaising their tails, are only musically educated people....

When you know how to embed your audio system by the way, you dont really need to upgrade.... I know i am an audiophile....

Because we're old and cranky, dammit!  Covid and politics don't help either. On top of that, we're getting too old to move our heavy amps and speakers around the house! lol

There are trolls that purposely attempt to disrupt a conversation with misinformation given in an authoritative context. They can then argue their point until the opposition wears down and capitulates. I’ve been involved in a few of those and yes, I get testy.
Plus people are generally angry over COVID and the political events of the past few years, regardless of their affiliation. Yes, we live in the land of plenty and have plenty to be tankful for, but many feel those freedoms and cornicopia are being eroded or compromised by uncaring individuals in business and government.
And, it just may be that the protagonist just didn’t get it from his wife/girlfriend/boyfriend last night.
