Sometimes all I want is to find a bit of humor here.
There are some people who are very funny here.
Remember the cartoons in Stereophile?

The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase
This is tongue in cheek people, so let’s keep the replies light shall we?
The 5 Stages of Making a Bad Audio Purchase:
1. Denial: "My system, which before was of course totally awesome, is now totally awesomer! The sound stage isn’t just 3 dimensional any more, it is 4 dimensional. I can feel fingers sliding across guitar strings, drums are like my head is against the snare, and the bass goes 10hz lower ...."
2. Anger: "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON’T BELIEVE MY SYSTEM WENT FROM AWESOME TO AWESOMER!!!. You obviously have a crap system, your ears are crap, you are just jealous."
3. Bargaining: "Hey, this gadget will make your already awesome system totally awesomer! 60% of MFR list is a great deal for it! That’s 40% off and you don’t even have to pay tax. I am only selling it because I am upgrading to the even awesomer version 2. My loss is your gain."
4. Depression: "I can’t believe I spent $5,000 on this thing ....."
5. Acceptance: "Sure, 75% off list is fair."

"The more you realize nothing makes sense, it begins to make sense." @elliottbnewcombjr, The warp & weft of this forum (esp. the 'warp factor' ;;;)) *L*) has been amusing enough, at least to me. *G* Starting with 'buyer's remorse, segway to drugs 'n alcohol and the use of for 'enhancement'/'blunting'. Followed by a tad of minor review of the + 'n - of That, which has existed since the species found that bad grain, certain sorts of smoke or veggies made one 'different'.... 'Bell curve' stuff again. What some find amusing, others go dead serious about or *yawn*. Seemingly endless scraps over cable X vs.(insert letter Here), speakers, amps, spaces, places to (or not) to purchase from... At least, at the end of the day, we do agree on one thing: We like music. It evokes various responses in each and all that we like. How we do so...there's the rub. Love it, hate it, like it, leave it. Seems to apply to nearly everything 'umans' do...or don't. *L* *End of PSA* *snicker*G* |
Nope, we can't even agree to this. According to some, who seem to have a delusion, people that understand the technical aspects of audio couldn't possibly just listen to and enjoy music :-) asvjerry704 posts11-07-2019 1:24am |
