Thanks for the thoughts on wine. Much of the world of great audio is quite similar to the best wines. And like much of high end audio......very small companies.
Does your "esoteric" taste in audio also exist in other "things" you own/consume?
This is not ment to be a "snob appeal" thought or thought process....but just a wonderment about others and their "other" consumer consumptions.
My best friends and I share the "high-end" audio interest/hobby/investments but in that same vein, we all have traveled "the road not taken" with cars, homes, foods, vacations, art...etc. Again, not to be mean, but none of my human experience has been that the humans I have had interactions with were "selectively intelligent". Your esperience may have varied from this....but my experience is that most intelligent people I have known were globally intelligent and most of the simple minded people I have been around are globally simple minded...Perhaps the latter explains the "thing" with politicians?
The Road Not Taken
Launch Audio in a New Window
BY ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Primitive/naive art (mainly paintings), vintage French/European advertising barware, vintage enameled cast iron cookware and between my wife and myself gobs of other stuff. One of my favorite paintings is of a small blonde girl, wearing a tutu, standing in front of the Watts Towers. Here's a pic (from the WWW) of the type of barware (I have around 30 pitchers, plus glasses and shakers). https://assets.catawiki.nl/assets/2020/4/21/e/c/a/eca5ffb0-5ee2-4aad-b8b2-a485b86fea1f.jpg DeKay |
OP,
Lots of similarities between wine and audio… but also cameras… particularly because they are analog to digital to analog converters. With the highly detailed sensitive eyes involved.

There is such a thing - it's called evolution ... It can go globally in society, or maybe in an individual person (it may not go - stagnation ... or even worse - degeneration). The tragedy of humanity (one and all in particular) is super-rich people (and their groups) ... sick mutants obsessed with greed do everything to stop evolution (especially 2) and provoke degeneration processes. What for ? - animals (stupid vicious people) are easier to control and parasitize on them. Remember the black slaves - they were forbidden to learn to read. Entry level (1) - good drinks, paintings, sculptures, cars ... - you will find it yourself - I will offer you a book, music and something else)))
for dessert this is - feel the difference ... this man was very popular on the BBC - turned the lives of many - woke up. |
