Why so many angry audiophiles?

Or impossibility of being wrong ?

Right On!

Happy Listening!

I didn’t really start loving this hobby until I went down my own path, against the grain, outside and away from the sheep fold, to find the best sound possible. This next year others may discover what I did: Diamond Streaming.

My primary goal, from archaic GE turntable/radio combination to current OPPO/Maggie system is that the equipment is a tool that delivers music. I have $ tens of thousands more tied up in media that can become music than in the equipment itself. Yes, it's good to upgrade the equipment as personal tastes, equipment availability and budget allows, but should I ever win a $ million lottery, 99 % of the winnings aren't going towards equipment upgrades.

I guess the anger comes from some that can no longer relax whilst hearing the music.

Thanks Mapman, you make a good point.
This used to be an enlightening forum in every sense of the word.
Social media rage appears to have found it's way here. Hopefully the self appointed judges of all posters will get tired of telling everyone how to think and go troll somewhere else...but it's not likely.

There's still plenty of good content here and plenty of people who love music and get enjoyment from working with their systems.

Cheers
