Thirty Days in the Hole


Is that where MillerCarbon is? Can we expect to see him on the 9th?

I see nothing formal, definitive, or convincing that he has been banned, restricted, or disciplined probably he just got a job or as others have accused, suggested, and speculated he may have launched an audio industry related business or finally gotten a job.

@oldhvymec , re 6:30pm: +10
I promise never to cast a shadow (or not) on your....'wildlife encounter'.
(One doesn't know about those chickens...not when mentioning velociraptors...)

I never expected MC & kenjit in the same post, much less the same sentence.

When first I stumbled 'in here', those 2 & GK were part of the 'landscape' of the place...just 3 that seemed to create their own versions of ruckus....*S*

Overall....seems a nice place to hang, read things of interest, and type how I think vs. how I may talk.

Miss GK as well...I feel he 'got me'....or endured with what seemed a *S*

"There are a lot of us here that are just getting started. We don’t have this common knowledge. That is why we come here. It’s tough to know the truth when the parents are fighting."

Ask questions. There are plenty of people here with experience and knowledge. The truth is that everyone is biased in some way, or has preferences or limits to their knowledge. Plus seat time. It makes a lot of sense when you hear the differences, but there are so many variables-- think about the infinite combination of systems and room acoustics-- that there is no "one way." Absorb as much as you can. Read. And if possible --harder to do in the era of Covid-- try and hang out with other audiophiles. I was a member of a club in NYC that was great fun. I can’t say I learned much at club meetings- it was more social than anything, but got to know a lot of people. Over the long haul, you figure out what you need to know. Nobody knows everything and I would be suspicious of anyone who proclaims that they do. There are no gurus in this field, but some very knowledgeable people whose knowledge isn’t exactly linear-- they have deep knowledge of some things and less knowledge of others. So, in some ways it is incumbent on you to learn, but the resources are there. (And ignore ad hype and treat reviews with a grain of salt- not because they are deliberately lying, but because they are part of the eco-system of audio sales). User experience conveyed on a board can be valuable, if you get enough different data points, but even then, you will see a divergence of opinion. Partly due to the variables and partly due to individual preference (aka "bias").

It can be a fun hobby and some people make a living at it. I support the people I believe in with my wallet. And, as you gain more experience and have the wherewithal to get to something that more closely approximates real music, those relationships can be invaluable.

I miss all people with whom i interacted to here to some variable degree for sure different  for each one..,. Some characters always seems more easy to love than others for each of us...

Any human being though is a piece in the puzzle of life...

Those who are too obsessed to listen to others i simply dont read their posts... No names is needed...

I am perhaps a bit obsessed too but i hope that i have proven to others i can listen too out of my own obsessions...
