Why so many angry audiophiles?

Well, it is pretty annoying (just kidding) when people still think ‘audiophile’ only means: Listening to music. In my opinion this is not what the hobby is about. It is about getting our system to sound as good as we can. And yes, these discussions can get very passionate 😀 Here is my opinion on what an audiophile is: https://youtu.be/Xet2qXuFboE

It’s the same people arguing over the same things over and over. I’ve literally left threads and come back 6 months later and yep: the same people arguing and saying the same things. Audiophile fuses, MQA or Tekton speakers anyone?

@sbayne,

"It’s the same people arguing over the same things over and over. I’ve literally left threads and come back 6 months later and yep: the same people arguing and saying the same things. Audiophile fuses, MQA or Tekton speakers anyone?"



These things take time. The analogue (vinyl) - digital debate is only a mere 4 decades old. The cable debates are of a similar age. Early days.

You know with money and vested interests involved, audio can start to look like a microcosm of politics itself.

Remember that Zappa quote about government? 

"Politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex."

I'm certainly with Frank on that one, especially if he meant to include the banks and the pharmaceuticals!
