Why do many discussions about sonic performance disintegrate into technical discusions?


Guys I have noticed that certain members start with technical back and forth in discussions which look like they are self serving, to prove how smart or knowledgable they are, rather then forwarding the OP's original question.

Shouldn’t these discussions be moved into a separate post about technical stuff ie the techical merits of bibolar vs mosfets for example, if these members want to do that?

I think most member don’t care if a Krell amp uses brand x or y for transistors vs a Pass or any other amp, I think most people are more concerned with what the sonic differences there are vs specific technical arguments that are not related to the sonic flavor or design methodologies that these product use to produce their sound, what do you guys think?

It’s a two way street. Yes, science can sometimes help explain things. And help design things. But one can be blinded by Science, too. There are a great many examples in this hobby that are difficult to explain. It’s really the nature of the hobby, has been for some time. So I wouldn’t get too upset or disappointed if explanations are not forthcoming or, if they are, not very palatable.

Give me some examples, you say? How about the Green Pen, Schumann Frequency Generator, Silver Rainbow Foil, VPI Brick, Mpingo disc, Cream Electret, tiny bowl acoustic resonators, the Intelligent Chip, crystals, directionality of fuses and cables, conductors the diameter of a human hair, Lessloss Blackbody, vibration isolation for solid state electronics, copper foil Flying Saucers for Windows, Shakti Stone, Shun Mook Original Cable Jacket, Teleportation Tweak, WA Quantum Chips, Graphene cables, fuse and contact enhancer and liquid cables?

If most normal people think one is nuts, one probably is.

I googled it. "geoffkait’s generic name-calling smear in the face of anything that violates his mythology". It’s like you don’t actually know what the term means because you never use it in a context that coincides with it’s definition.
