Yeah. I find the clueless folks annoying. When I can, I really like to try to help and encourage folks new to the pursuit. But the noise of those that can’t hear elementary sonic differences or like to deny the basics of high end audio distract from communication and encouragement, particularly those that are new to the pursuit. I honestly don’t know what to do about it. I try to ignore.
But there are options. Audio Aficionado is a high end audio forum. No aggressive behavior is tolerated… and all the folks have very high end systems. So, absolutely no one would question the efficacy of high end cables, for instance, everyone has gone through learning all the basics. Of course there are not many newbies and not nearly the traffic as here.
I like many of the questions because it makes me think about what I know about something I may never have really thought through and realize how to abstract it to something I have learned.
