This us-and-them mentality has crept into too many aspects of modern life. Once upon a time there were shades of grey. What if I believe it's worth getting an Audio Envy or Zavfino PC, but not a Hijiri or an AQ whatever? What if I believe a Littelfuse ceramic fuse for audio/medical is worth it, but not SR. What if I really like certain small speaker companies (beginning with F and S) but not others (beginning with T). It's called nuance. Don't let it be a foreign concept!
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
Why should we be subjected to audiophile deniers, on a site dedicated to audio?
It’s antithetical to the hobby and adds nothing to the pursuit. I want to quote something from another thread.
@djones51 wrote "exposing bull products like "audiophile switches, cables, fuses " and other highly questionable devices that serve no purpose"
What then, is the purpose of people with this agenda being on this site? To “expose bull products.” It’s fine for someone to post they tried a product and it didn’t work for them, but to dismiss entire product categories is not a discussion that belongs on an enthusiast forum.
Would a car enthusiast site stand for this type of post?
Try going on a Porsche forum, just for example, and posting that your Mustang is just as fast 0-60 and that others poster’s claims about their driving experience is “dubious.” See how long that will be tolerated
There are plenty of sites to poke fun at audiophile’s obsession with cables, power conditioners etc. Why does it belong here, especially when we can’t mute specific posters?
What’s next? Arguing that speakers that measure the same must sound the same and that we are all suckers for buying expensive speakers? I thought we got rid of trolling?
Isn’t it obvious with all the ASR related posts here lately we are being trolled?
A couple of months back I read a post here about someone that ordered a new cat8 cable from China. I tried it and posted back my fantastic results for others to benefit.
Personally that’s the kind of forum I’m interested in, not to come here to be challenged about what I hear and that since it can’t be measured so it must be “dubious.”

Perhaps, but I still bought a fairly substantial amount of Twitter stock after he did, then sold it after he announced his offer. Too risky to know how it will end. I will take the gains.

Long term evaluation is the gold standard for audio review. Short term testing is a flawed concept. People can easily form the wrong opinion on a short term test but it's really hard to fool yourself over the long term. |
Oh, not at all. Your post has been up over an hour. On AA, while the mods were basically conducting a thread about the cognizant decline of a politician who happened to be a dem, I pointed out that Dementia Donnie was under the impression that our military closed down all the airports during The War of 1812 and was advocating for IV infusions of disinfectants (to cure COVID). Within 5 minutes my post was removed and the main mod sent me a nasty-gram. |
