CAN WE AUDIOPHILES DO OUR PART?


So we're all tired of hearing about nothing but Covid-19 (or, as I term it, the C-Plague). What can we do, as audiophiles, to help with all this.
I was amazed, and delighted, when I went to the Cardas website to see that they are doing their part. Go to their website and you'll see their director, Angela Cardas, wearing a mask. If you click on the Cardas Nautilus logo in the upper left corner, you'll see pictures of people there in the factory making masks with sewing machines. I called the company to congratulate them, and spoke with a woman named Darla, who said it was their way, during this economic slump, to keep their employees working and also their way of trying to "do our part."
I'm not writing all this to advertise Cardas products. They are a very good company, but trust your ears, not anything I write, when it comes to buying their products. They do get credit, however, for helping me come to a realization that pushed me in the right direction. I called a woman I am friends with, who is 85 years old and is a good seamstress, to suggest she start making masks. She already was--and is. By phone she has organized several other women to do the same, and right now they are needing more material and elastic. I managed to gather about 50 pounds of material and am starting to gather elastic while also getting more material. But I don't sew. I can't help out with that. Any ideas as to what we--all of us who are good with our ears and focused with our budgets--can do to help out in other ways?

I realize this is an odd topic to bring to an audio forum, but it was a very socially responsible audio company that got me to thinking about it, and frankly I believe I should be socially responsible enough to do what I can to get other people to thinking about it. While also being open to other people's ideas about ways someone like me who is "just an audiophile" can help.

Thank you, in advance, for any and all ideas on this.

Thecrapathian - I was on the beach bird doggin chicks. I assume you were pounding sand, speaking of the beach. 
You could offer the secret of the world or a cartoon, and which would many choose?

phd,

"...the electrons eventually find their shortest path producing a better sound."

Not being a cable expert, I read that as "Electrons are very slow learners. It takes them a month to find the shortest path through 50cm of virtually two-dimensional conductor".


I just took a mask off and am still wondering what problems you were talking about when you said that masks make people ill. You must have had something specific on your mind.




isochronism,

"You could offer the secret of the world or a cartoon, and which would many choose?"

This is a very contemplative morning challenge.

Good news is that it does not truly matter. In a hundred years, that sand from geoffkait's beach will cover it all. Oh, error. Cover us all.
