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. |
