The real audiophile is last one standing after debunking all the others in semi technical discussions and calling them dumb/ignorant/fake etc...
It is a pissing contest for vulnarable ego’s that scream "listen to me"
You are not wrong, we are all humans...I like to discuss myself too much... i plaid guilty for being passionnate abit too much...
But you forgot something in your rightful claim:
Audio experience need to be WORKED and LEARNED...
it does not come by itself plugging anything in a wall...
Then i learned in audio forum and some motivated me...
Here like anywhere, there is the best and the worst...
The greatest sin will be to throw the baby with the bath muddied waters...
Dont commit this sin by impatience...
