Why Do You Post?

If you think this place is bad, you haven't been on any of the audiophile FB groups.  Too many armchair experts over there.  The only one I miss is "chackster", he gave me a wealth of turntable knowledge

@teo_audio - I got turned onto Dobie Gray in around '73, and "got" the soulful vibe. I tracked down a couple of his records a while ago. Musical taste is separate from a well tuned hi-fi, though the system should, ideally, be genre/style agnostic. I dig a lot of the '70s soul/fusion/jazz, which was not a high point for vinyl pressings, but pretty wide ranging in terms of musical taste. I can play heavy, proto-three chord, classical or pretty much any genre,  but  prefer certain small combo jazz from the '70s. Although my taste in music should not be a deciding factor in assembling a system, it may prove to be, especially for those on a budget. 

I like reading what people have for components and speakers. I also like to read about some of the silly things people believe about tweaks and whatever else companies sell to the gullible. It some respects, it's like a religion. There's no proof but you gotta have faith.

trolls gonna troll, it’s all they got to offer... wake up every morning, no other joy available through more productive and positive means

rather pitiful actually

we all know real people in our lives in this unfortunate position... these folks actually deserve empathy, help, love...  except here, they are anonymous and spoil the experience for others...

I post to support my fragile ego by imagining my posts are considered real smart (!), often hilarious, and clearly coming from someone extremely good looking and tall-ish.
