2022 is almost here. Why are you here?

So why are you here?

No why are you on this forum?

Is it to discuss music?

Is it to discuss equipment and how to optimize your system?

Is it to meet new people and share ideas and well yes opinions?

I know those are the reasons I came to this forum. My favorite section is “What’s on your turntable tonight”. I also enjoy sharing my experiences in audio and well life so far.

Things I do not care for but come in an ecosystem like this are:

Posts that get hijacked.

People who politicize a post and everything is a right wing, or an alt left conspiracy.

Dealers that post to hawk their wares and services.

Boisterous bloviating blowhards’ that everything they do, own, and think is the best and you are schitt.

Personal attacks (I am guilty and will admit it)

I am right and you can not prove me wrong, so I am right. Tweaks are BS show me the DATA. Condemnation of a tweak or performance upgrade formulated on opinion, not science or trial and error.

There are a few only a few that are here just to be disrupters that pounce on posts by certain individuals looking for the opportunity to make them look the fool or extremist. So, it all goes back to the original question.

Why are you here?

I despise New Years resolutions and I am not going to make one here for 2022. I will say that if a post gets flushed down the political crapper I will move on. If the zoomer’s (thanks nonoise for that phrase) hit the thread, then the thread is dead to me. 

My goal in 2022 is to avoid conflict unless it is on the ice.

Love to hear form you all and Happy New Year!

Here for the info - audiophile info.  Just a somewhat isolated audiophile that enjoys good AUDIO info wherever he can get it.  All opinions welcome while I search for that elusive sound on a budget. 

Please leave your politics at the door.  This is not the place.  A separate category for current events would be nice so I can avoid it like the plague.

I’m here because I love music and want to reproduce the bang I get out of hearing it live.

Do I get a kick out of reading about all the theories and audio advice? Sure.

Am I concerned about this newly discovered occasional ringing in my ear? Sure.

My best to one and all who read this and here’s to a great new year.

"I come hear to sit and think,
read the scrawls upon the walls.."

(Revised from an ancient commode comment)

Surprisingly, one can sieve a rather broad education on all things audio 'midst the repartee, rants 'n raves, 'you can go with This, or you can stand with That', or the outbursts of things I try to avoid here.

I'd rather be an anomaly than the amateur analyst, anyway.
I've my own audio approach, TTTT.  Y'all've got yours, too. ;)

Nice thread, actually.  Air the place out...*g*

I can feel the earth begin to move
I hear my needle hit the groove
And spiral through another day
I hear my song begin to say
Kiss me where the sun don't shine
The past was yours
But the future's mine
You're all out of time

I joined the site because for as long as I can remember I have had an interest in audio, and when Joined everyone I knew thought that the crappy Apple Ear Buds that came with the iPod were so astounding.
