I readily admit that my responses have bounced on and off sophomoric humor. However, lately some users seem to have had trouble discerning the reality of a privileged hobby from that of real life. Let's try not to offend anyone. Let's not get angry or defensive. I'm going to start it off with I was at a new record store in Asheville NC yesterday. it was awesome. Debby and I went for a get away. Great town with so much to do. Bought a bunch of records I have been looking for. King Crimson "Red". Fantastic. Gotta have it if into Progressive Rock..
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?
