Techphiles, Dyi'ers, Tweak masters, Elitists, Audiophiles, music lovers, Bargain hunters, ... Hmm... this might be interesting.
Techphile - You gear is what you love the most. Nothing beats the smell of new electronics, except for the preformance of a well engineered and constructed piece of precision machinery (this is pretty much me)
Tweak Masters - Believe the best sound is done by getting good solid gear and tweaking the hell outta it with room treatments and various other articals of sound modification. Alot of the time they seem to be bargain hunters and DYIers as well.
DYI'ers - Believe that with hard effort and research they can build the WATT Puppys they always wanted
Elitists, Seem to believe that the price of a system is the end all measure of the quality of sound, bargain buck cannot sound good. Thier opinions are the only ones that matter and get offended at different points of views. a $5,000 bargain system makes thier ears bleed. They despise and refuse to acknolwedge any sonic quality in recievers. Dont get along with bargain hunters
Music Lovers - Can enjoy music on any system, but prefer to have it as clean and pure as possible.
Audiophiles, A blend of everything, Believe in the tweaks, expencive gear and might not enjoy music on a simple system as much as on a expencive one, but are still concerned more about music than gear.
Bargain Hunters - Firmly Believe 10,000 is enough for a 2 channel system and believe people who spend much more are crazy and fooling themselves into believing there is an improvement in sound between a 3,000 amp and a 5,000 amp. This is either because this is thier real belief or sometimes because they cannot buy the "Elitist" gear and get envious.
Paper-gurus - The guys who believe something sounds better because test measurements. A white paper for these guys is as good as an audition
Veterans. crusty old guys that have owned almost every brand pf hardware made, know alot about this stuff. can also be elitists, DYIers, music lovers, or audiophiles.
hehehehe...
That is all in fun, i mean no offence to anybody by what i wrote above. Dont take it seriously :) :)
Hmmm...
Something i always kinda pondered, is that alot of people have certain types of gear they like to stick to. They will claim magnepan beats JBL, or KLIPSCH sounds better than Martin Logan.
I kinda wonder if alot of that stems from the type of music they like. It seems like Rockers are SS all the way, while alot of jazz and blues aficiandos like tubes. classical seems to be a blend of either with an emphasis on planer speakers.
Im starting to believe that what might sound good on say, TWL's system might not sound good on mine, and what sounds good on mine, might not sound good on TWLs
twl- not trying to pick on you here, i just know you like classical and quite clearly hate my music. hehe
I wonder what "System of a Down" would sound like on TWL's system.
