Why so many angry audiophiles?

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

I know I don’t have the technical knowledge or the experience with equipment of many on this forum, so it is easy for me to find threads that discuss something interesting to me.  I especially enjoy the postings of those who can take a highly technical subject and explain it in terms that the average person, like me, can understand.  

Of course, I notice the sparring here and took that as a duel of wits, but then obviously it gets testy at times.  I just skim over what doesn’t interest me, and I have sampled other audiophile forums for a frame of reference.  I still prefer coming here.

sojourn98,

Tell us how you really feel.

This thread is meant for that.

Anything that exhibits a high level of emotional involvement is bound to engender an elevated degree of conflict over choices made to enjoy such....

Vivaldi vs. Van Halen, and how to listen with what where when and why.  So much like sport fans, overlaid with more than just whose jersey one shoulders.... *S*
At least we don't sit in stadiums smeared with team colors wagging foam hands....or do we?

Tubes, or tragedy.  Solid States of sibilance. The A, A/B, D factions struggle over the possession of Truth and Beauty.

"VTA, VTA, all is involved in VTA!"....one can almost hear the chant of the section, while the digital division debates a retort...

Pretty damn funny, if one steps to one side of the crowds... ;)
All this, for bliss....truly transient, totally engrossing edification.

What a wonderful motley mess we is. (Hope your team 'wins'....*G*)

Enjoy your music by whatever means is meaningful to you.
'Nuff said....

Some interesting quotes from Einstein. 

"Hail to the man who went through life always helping others, knowing no fear, and to whom aggressiveness and resentment are alien."

"The only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance."

"Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution."

"I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university."

"I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am."

"Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods."

What does this have to do with the OP? Nothing, directly. But it does apply to a common occurrence found on these threads. If you've been on these threads for any length of time you will know exactly what this post is about. +1 to mapman and +1 to inna and +1 to any others who have shown compassion for others.
