Why so many angry audiophiles?

Remember that Zappa quote about government?

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

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,
Spencer

Should we start a new thread of audiophile gripes?

Why do power amps have to weight so much?
Why do audio components depreciate the moment you drive them off the lot?
Why is there never enough room behind the rack (a) to fit your head in there to see what you're doing; (b) to dress all your cables properly.

twoleftears -- Just install a little dog door in the wall behind the equipment rack.  Or have your pet cat do the connecting.

What has been cemented through all of this is that the lens people see things through is so powerful and logic is mostly personal perspective.  What gets to me though is that some of the same people who believe in religious and political fantasy try to ruin enjoyment of the hobbyists fantasies of cables, amps, cd players, etc.  In this day and age, the x's and o's are in the eye of the beholder.
