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.

@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!

I discovered Zappa when i was young, but being less smart than i think, it takes me a long time to appreciate him...

😪Shameful.... His music was too subtle for my gross mind and my only excuse is that english poetry was a bit difficult for me in my teen years....
It depends on when you ask "Why so angry?"

because Yoko Ono.
because "perfect sound forever".
because mp3.
because compression.
because internet throttling.
because I can't browse local record stores during pandemic.

Cheers,
