How could High End audio be improved?

6ch, you should tell us who you think is not being a "friend" to detlof and why.

You once had to apologize here and I said to you it was courageous to do so, and even allowed you to do so without apologizing specifically, which is what you should have done.

Similarly, its not constructive to say to someone that there are people who are not their friends, then not say why or who you are specifically talking about.

Some of that selective courage, please.

Basic research regarding technical specifications and listening tests. Which specs are really meaningful to our perception of sound? How well do they correlate with good sound? Research into possible new specs that have a good correlation with sound and how this would apply to improvements of new audio products.

Damn it, I want to be the God!!

"Yea, Ma, OK."

"Now give Johhny back his Tonka."

"OK, OK, here, take it. I was just kiddin anyways..."

Mea culpa, toss away...

The water has no mind to receive their images."

Somebody does not understand his own quote. You, the bamboo stick does not belong to you.

OK, toss away...

OK, so then how do we, mechanically, so to speak, get people to appreciate beauty in music more/deeper, or even see that it exists? I mean, if being drawn to the hiend is synonomous with being drawn to feel more beauty in music - and assumably, we get on the audiophile path to make that happen more - then how do we catalyze that to happen in people more who don't know about it?

Is it just exposure, as in marketing penetration?

Or, do people have to change themselves in order to see what we are saying?

Is it both? If so, then don't we have to orientate our marketing and educational efforts towards educating people more on the appreciation of beauty?

In a capitalistic structure geared towards pleasure, how do we get people to want meaning in music?

Can you teach someone to see the beauty of a sunset?
