Please Make Audiogon Cool


I think that there are a lot of experienced and interesting people on this site. Some in retail, some in manufacturing, and probably some really cool artists, scientists and engineers of all sorts of backgrounds.


I want to encourage those of you with something to say, a point of view, a helpful idea to post.


Without this type of interaction, Audiogon becomes just a shopping support group. If you care about the Audiogon community and would like to see it go in a particular direction, then please contribute in the way you feel most comfortable and engaging.

Thanks!

Erik

WHAT CAN BE ASSERTED WITHOUT EVIDENCE,

CAN BE DISMISSED WITHOUT EVIDENCE.

Your argument is easily dismissed as you have no evidence to support your position, nor are you willing to provide evidence via proving your claim.

>>>>>Nobody is saying that the ears can’t be fooled sometimes. But intimacy with one’s system and recordings can help ensure not many mistakes are made. So, we can dismiss any psychological bugaboo, whether it’s being psyched out, confirmation bias, placebo effect, reverse placebo effect or whatever other mumbo jumbo terminology you like.

Yes, I have noticed your use of ad-homs when you are not able to address the argument. It is not something to be proud of.

"I’ve already used the term Wiki scientist, it’s what I labeled you, actually, so please stop using my material. Have you no shame?"

>>>>>In that case I will dismiss your arguments. Talk to da hand 🖐

Somehow I feel this thread has been hijacked, but I can't figure out where it went south.

The second most important piece of equipment, after the speakers, is the room.

Went to an audio show on a weekend ... room after room after room of disappointing and very very expensive systems. $30,000+ of Nordost, a $50,000 turntable, $100,000 of speakers and I have no clue how much of electronics can’t fix bad acoustics.

Maybe the room the Teac system is in is pretty tolerable such that there is nothing "awful" to distract from the music.

Sure, listening to my main system is a far step better, but I often get a lot of enjoyment from the Sonos 1's and 3's sprinkled around the house.

Why is it my ears don’t discriminate that much anymore? I’m not questioning the validity of the delicate nuances coming out of a great speaker system, but I can ALSO listen to music on just about anything.
Except- an esoteric set of components that sounds unacceptional (but the "Watts" are certainly there if you’re hosting a house party). I think we all know the disappointment of hearing a demo and have to be diplomatic with the salesman who wants you to be amazed.
