Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio

@willemj

+1 Absolutely. When a user reports a problem with their sound and an audible change happening with a change of wire. Instead of the dealer or salesman saying "Hang on, your high end gear is supposed to work properly and reliably with a variety of wires and it should not make a difference." The dealer or salesman turns it into an opportunity "obviously your equipment is so resolving you need to try these $1000 wires" or alternatively if the salesman sold the equipment originally for an astronomical price, "oh this is normal, you need to listen for at least 600 hours to break in"

In some ways this industry is like the way some celebrities are addicted to plastic surgery - constant tweaks until it all ends up in a horrorshow mess and a totally alien lifeless face.

PEople would actually do that just to make money?

Whoda thunk it!

There must be a stable somewhere where they stock all the dead horses.

Oh, great! Another anti-audiophile blog for and about anti-audiophiles. Shazam!

Oh thank you, defiantboomerang, for saving us again from our own stupidity. Dude, why are you trying to be everyone’s mom? You come on here and immediately start posting stuff as though the rest of us have never read anything about audio and/or are too stupid to figure it out.

How about this: you don’t hear a difference in cables? Great, go listen to music and leave us alone. I make my own cables. I hear differences with different materials, geometries and conductors. I discuss these ideas with others and we all refine our understanding. None of us go out there insisting that you should be using certain cables, we don’t post stuff telling the world how stupid people are who don’t use fancy cables.. we go about our business.

Be secure enough in your beliefs and knowledge to find contentment. If you’re so psychologically fragile that you’re triggered by those who think differently, then that is sad. And unfortunately very common in our society at the moment.

I realize that this post may come across as hypocritical, however I see it as a rebuttal to an attack. Wading into a cable discussion and calling us delusional is not. Discussing, amongst ourselves, something you don’t believe in is not an attack on you. It does not require a rebuttal.

We have cable naysayers on here who can post their thoughts respectfully and leave it be. You, however, are a proselytizing fool lately.
