Why so many angry audiophiles?


Just wondering. Music is supposed to soothe the soul. If you are in reasonably good health for your age, have a good system and good music to play on it you have it pretty good it seems to me. These are blessings! Be thankful for what you got?

Just a thought.  That's how I see it.

It's all a question of scale.  Somewhere along the line we lost our sense of proportion.  Does the difference between a SR blue and orange fuse matter as much as a 1 meter or 2 meter sea level rise worldwide?  Yet they're argued over with equal fervor.
No matter how much you spend. No matter how good the reviews. Whatever you have there will be someone to criticize it. When i close my eyes and just listen to my system and it puts a smile on my face. That is all that matters to me..
Used to be that people with "far out" views of how things worked lived in obscurity, believing what they believed, going on with life, angry at the world perhaps, but content because they were somewhat shielded from it.

Fast forward to now. Not only are they no longer shielded, but they can embrace their views, stand on their soap box, and gather a like audience. But just like the world is no long shielded from their "far out" views, they are not shielded from having them any more.

People love to share their beliefs, they want everyone to agree with them to validate those beliefs, but like all things based on belief, they don't stand up well to scrutiny.

So why are people angry?

- People hate having their beliefs questioned and challenged
- Some don't suffer fools easily


Did you see how I did an analysis of why people are angry while making people angry at the same time? Yep, its a gift :-)
