Our Responsibility


As my music system competes with fireworks in the background (4th of July, after 9 pm) I’ve been reflecting on John Darko’s recent post (linked below). Specifically this section:

"Being a hi-fi enthusiast isn’t about the gear we own, the music we listen to or in which format. It’s about how we listen: attentively and mindfully, to the music AND to others."

Perhaps the significance and import of this very special day in our national history has opened up a window within me, to explore this further.

I’m asking our community: What is it that we can do to share and expand our interest and hobby, and this special love of music, with others?

1 Demonstrate that it is fun and worth all the trouble and expense.
2 Expose the all too many snake oil salesmen (yes, it’s usually men), who are determined to prove, for their own gain of course, that it isn’t.

Expose the all too many snake oil salesmen ...
There is a noisy minority on this site that proclaim this as a personal mission. But they never bring a court case to prove their claims of fraud and malfeasance, which makes me wonder what their motivation truly is. It obviously isn't to expose the truth.
