An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree?

One group should not be allowed to monopolize the term above another as their own status symbol. you i and anyone else who likes audio can be considered an audiophile regardless of the size of your bank account.

Rest assured, beyond this chat and this site, I have added some entertainment to your life. I share because I’ve worked hard for what I have and I am proud of it. Working for what you have was my point. And i have worked hard at assembling a reasonable audiophile setup. 

I have little respect for those who are not inclusive, especially in respects to something as ultimately unimportant as a pursuit for quality audio reproduction. Something that seems pretty common on this site and others.  Wealth and elitism is clearly evident in this pursuit. And those people are why this world is coming apart.

Educate yourself and read more accurately.

brettmcee,


Don't take jsautter's comments as an attack. They do not seem to be. They are more like some kind of a guidance.


It is good to be proud of your work and you should be. However, once you start flaunting it around, it becomes a little slippery. It becomes about who is a bigger boy. And the person on the other side of your computer screen, the one to whose life you have added some entertainment, might have added some years to your life. Then it becomes a joke and you do not want to feel like your work is less valuable. Stay away from bragging about it.


Other things are fine, they are your opinions regardless of who agrees or disagrees with you.

brettmcee,


"Educate yourself and read more accurately."
I educate myself daily and read very accurately to the dismay of some.

I just educated myself about your work. At least I think I got it right as the work you imply and your name here nicely align with what I think is your website. I can see why you are so confident that you added entertainment to many people’s lives. You surely have. Not to mine, but you do get credit for others’. Now, if you could do Despicable Me, you could add me to the list of happy admirers. Until then, just another guy who does work I am not interested in. I am glad it works for you.


EDIT: Your website looks nice. Simple and easy. However, "view resume" link does not work.


If the pictures on your blog are anything to go by, you do have what most of the less-fortunate people would consider an "expensive taste".
