Thats the point of the rating system….no wordsmithing required, just the ability to listen (maybe before and after, but even that may not be necessary) and read the rating definitions. Happy 2022 to all!
Audiogon resolutions for 2022 - #1 less exaggeration when it comes to system changes
I enjoy the information presented on Audiogon, especially when posters talk about minor changes (or tweaks, which is a word I don't really like) to their system. (I also like the comedy). The problem is when everything is SUPER IMPORTANT and impactful, nothing is, relatively speaking.
I propose we institute a new scale for system changes (or even specific individual component upgrades) similar to how used records are graded. Here goes the grading system:
A - heard a strikingly positive, noticeable change as soon as the stylus hit the record
B - heard a positive change as soon as the stylus hit the record
C - hear an audible, minor change as soon as the stylus hit the record
D - was able to hear an easily noticeable improvement when comparing back and forth to previous state
E - was able top hear an improvement over previous state comparing back & forth
F - when listening intensely and comparing, was able to hear a slight improvement versus previous state
G - when comparing was barely able to hear an improvement
#2 - keep all political opinions off Audiogon, we can hear enough of the garbage all over the place
Whaddya think?

where is the hyperbole before the gear arrives section ? Ya, the political crap is exhausting….. @bjesien makes a good point, i filter out the low sample size inexperienced who claim to walk on water…playing the same ten discs.. kinda like reading about wine from somebody who has a bottle a year…. Audio Spectator….

@tomic601 The Wine Spectator reference made me laugh. I've a friend just like that and his taste is abysmal (on my taste preference scale) Every bottle is "phenomenal!" |
@femoore12 - Indeed! I've got PLENTY to say about politics.... just not on audio forums. |
