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?

Agree on the political bloviating. Not the place for it. Just because people may think you're a jackass, there's no reason to remove all doubt. 
 

otherwise, I appreciate the discussion and learn a lot about the topics from people who know more than me. Thanks to you all for that and Happy New Year. 

H: I did hear a difference and I will get back to you in a few weeks about whether it was an improvement or not.
