@teo-audio, an excellent and thought provoking post but those who resist the most will continue to dumb it down to their level whilst promoting themselves as saviours of the insanely gullible.
It’s Voltage divided by Current pure and simple +/- 3dB
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
I think we can all agree that threads about tweaks like fuses, stones, mats, power conditioners etc. stir up all kinds of controversy, conflict and ill will.
Short of banning discussion of these controversial topics, is there another solution to this problem?
I got this idea from teo_audio’s comments about a solution implemented at Canuck audio on another thread:
“Canuck audio tames it by having a cable and tweak area for threads. Where any counter to the idea that such things are functional (in attempt or in analysis), is not tolerated.
Meaning.. threads where people discuss tweaks, or mods or cables and so on, if a naysayer posts there, and interrupts the discussion, in any way, they get their posts deleted. And...if the given naysayer can’t hold their tongue, after said deletion-ish warnings..... they will, rapidly, via any repeats in behavior, find themselves banned from the forum. They have to grow up, or get lost.”
You may not like parts of his description, but I think the idea has real merit.
I propose a new “safe haven” sub-forum, with some special rules, for the discussion of tweaks. These rules would ONLY apply to this specific sub-forum, the current rules would continue as they are in all other areas.
The special rules would be along these lines:
Posts that categorically deny the possibility of tweaks having any effect or value are not allowed.
Posts proclaiming tweaks to be “scams” “cons” etc. are not allowed.
Posts that directly state, or imply, that another poster is lying, are not allowed.
Posts that make absolute negative statements like “Science proves it can’t work.” are not allowed.
Posts demanding measurements, controlled listening tests etc. are not allowed.
Posts that express skepticism (without making absolute negative statements), ask tough questions, or request more information are welcome.
Of course, some who hold the above opinions may object, but they would still be able to express those opinions in all other parts of the forum, just like they always have.
What do you think?

@mahgister Not polish. Just able to use Google translate. I'm ham salad (my wife's best friend's apt description of white folks). I also like maps despite their flaws. I despair that some of these threads get so nasty. But I like zinging off topic as this has..It’s kind of like net surfing. |
Interesting jazz album by the way thanks...

Note to cable and tweak haters: Gravity, Atoms, and Time, are all impossible to explain scientifically, so they are snake oil. A bunch of lies coming from a bunch of snake oil salesmen. Yet..those things are believed in and accepted as real. But we can't somehow..hear a difference in cables. Not allowed. Verboten. Logic went all pear shaped in there...somewhere... |
