"Psychotherapists." Freudian slip. Almost too perfect for words.
What Audio Religion have you converted others to successfully?
We all have certain audio proclivities, some we expose to the world, some we hide even from our priests and psychotherapists. We believe, strongly, there's a certain way to achieve magic. A state of enlightenment which raises our awareness almost instantly to resonate with the sacred muses, and may actually transcend music and audio to reach the divine (as opposed to Divine).
In most cases, we share something with a loved one and they're like "um, ok, are still on for fishing this weekend?" but rarely, ever so rarely, the go home, they don't talk to their spouses, their children think there is something wrong, and they call you late at night. "You know that thing you did, with the cables and the vinyl and stuff? How can I do that too? Does my spouse need to know? Can I keep things at your place?"
So, my fellow audiophiles, what proclivities do you find yourself championing, and what do you think is an easy vs. a hard sell? Vinyl? Room acoustics? Rubbing Portuguese safflower oil on your cables before listening?

Hi @millercarbon It hurts my soul to know you run around using words you don’t understand in an era when Wikipedia and Merriam Webster are online and free. Please have an essay by Monday explaining what the two criteria are for a "Freudian slip" and why at least one of them is missing. 500 words. Have another 500 words for the term "projection" and how it applies to your reply. Another 500 words on the phrase "obsession" and, for bonus points only, why "transference" is also a bad description of anything which is going on, focusing on how it differs from "projection." Best, E |
We warned Sigmund about the black ice on the driveway. Sigmund was the type of guy that would never listen to others and he took a bad fall. Sig was never the same guy after that slip!! https://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/freudian-slip.jpg |
