Those who seek to deny access to information

Like many/most here, one of the main reasons I frequent audiogon is to gather information. I am looking for ways to enhance the enjoyment I get from listening to music on my system. The information most valuable to me comes from those who share their actual experience with products that I am interested in, but have not heard in my system.

The audio community is a diverse one, with many opinions, ideas and perspectives. Many of them differ from mine, and that is fine. Those who disagree with me are free to make posts and start threads about whatever they choose. This doesn’t bother me, I am free to choose what I read, and what I don’t.

What does rile me up up is deliberate attempts to deny me (and others) access to the information that I value. There are some here who repeatedly seek to disrupt, sidetrack, derail, and shut down conversations about topics and products that trigger them. They do not contribute any useful information or experience to the discussion, and make disparaging comments about things they have zero experience with. They are bullies who mock, ridicule and provoke those who use, make and sell certain products. They seek to stifle any discussions about, and especially positive opinions of, the products and people they clearly have a vendetta against.

They can start their own threads, and talk about what a fool I am all day long, I don’t care. Their deliberate and repeated attempts to deny myself and others access to the information we value, however, are intolerable.

You are right continual improvement with a specific system tend toward a limit...

I have reach this limit with my relatively good system...

I know because my 7 headphones are in a closet and i will not use them anymore they own no advantages over my actual system...

I listewn music....Audiophile obsession is not for me.... Acoustic was the key ignored by most who spend fortune on gear....

 

 

This is one thing you musk know:

Before my retirement my wifehas agreed to let me use 15,000 bucks to live my audiophile dream before dying 8 years ago...

 

For the last 2 years in my dedicated room i succeed in controlling my acoustic to a level so refine that my 500 bucks system satisfy my taste completely...

No upgrade needed, no further expanse...

Yes my room contain hundred of tubes among others things....Junk material used to create my mechanical equalizer...

Then who smile last with a piano sound natural filling the room, an imaging and soundstage under control...

Instead of expansive throwing of money under a bus i learned acoustic ....I am proud...And any dude with one million dollars system make me better on my way..... Guess why?

Acoustic may cost peanuts....

...... 😁😊😊😊

My regards and my best to you...

 

Continual improvement may not define the audiophile. When the journey becomes Ahab.

One can also reach a satisfaction dictated by results, age, budget, etc.

My bone of contention are the miracle products and proponents of absolutism.

Also my wife has an issue with Mahgister’s system.

Curious if you have a mental list that you can recall that demonstrates or outlines what the favored and unflavored brands are when it comes to this forum? 
I’ll check back to see if you were able to compile your experiences both with your posts, and the posts of others you’ve happened upon. 
As a new member, this could save me and others some grief.
