Fear and Loathing in the Audiophile community. Funny and real


This is part 3 of the series from ecoustics.

Found it interesting and resembled myself and many here in this forum.

Also have found it interesting in the cast of characters here that are just out to do hit jobs. They wait for people to post and they pounce, hijacking a post and taking down a rabbit hole.

Where I have done that I apologize.

You Can’t Prove Me Wrong, So I Am Right…

When you stop listening you stop learning. The author seems to make the point that we should listen to opinions and respect other views, hopefully learn from other views. Measurements are a vital tool in the process and we should listen to those promoting their use and understanding. He seems however to also believe that hifi enables us to listen to music, and we should probably do that too. I would tend to agree. 

@henry53  & Spencer...+10 both

It has yet to occur to me how I can force anyone to read my posts.
Hard cold details have their upper limit in the pursuit of audiogasms.

It's ultimately a personal pursuit with ones' goals, intent, desires...

If heaven is in your mind, what do you want it to be?

@hilde45 ...well, occasionally....;)

....kinda the norm 'round here...*L*

 

'Bot Boo Boo?  Hydraulic Hick Ups?  Oil Oops?

...can't wait...🙄

I participate in Classical Music forums and occasionally the threads will veer into audiophilia .  There are a couple of posters that seem like reasonable, tolerant pepole while discussing music who then become raving lunatics if anyone challenges their opinion on gear

@asvjerry LOL. Yeah, you can search a user’s history to see if they do that mostly. Very revealing patterns can be found.

@hilde45 That's a very astute observation & practice. Between the post history and member system(or lack of system), there's plenty to inform "consider the source". 

In the end karma will run over dogma. Cheers,
