Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
I think we have. I have seen many discussion on audio forums and how nasty they can become when you have people disagreeing. Seems like there are a lot more know it alls now. I been in 20 years and I can still learn. But I also know I know quite a bit. Like cables can enhance the sound and higher end well designed gear can truly be ear candy special. Is this just on audio forums or the internet period.
The internet is one of the most wondrous inventions ever. It also gives a platform to every idiot on planet earth. On forums like this, its just irritating. The most dangerous thing is when world leaders who have control over entire countries and their nukes, start playing to the internet crowd.

@wturkey @rok2id i agree civility was lost a long time ago. I actually quit posting on Audiogon about 4 years ago. I left because it became less about sound and more about personal insults. Challenging people’s intelligence and integrity. Stuff that people do on the internet but wouldn’t probably do face to face. It kills the conversation where people can learn and or enjoy. |
“ I’m not going to let a guy tell me cable’s don’t affect the sound and not take him to task on it.” Basic cables that are competently built are audibly transparent. Some cables, be it by accident or design will color the sound. If you want to “take me to task” on it feel free to do so. Let’s see if you can do so with the civility you so lament is missing on audio forums and with the respect you expect from others. I am more than happy to argue my position purely on verifiable objective facts. |
@scottwheel it’s not a respect thing. Look I just would never listen to you on this issue. There is nothing wrong with agreeing to disagree. I hear a difference. You don’t. You don’t have to invest your time and money in cables. I will. It’s ok and nothing wrong with that. There are just a lot of folks here that will never agree with you on this. That’s ok they don’t have to. If you are happy with generic cables. More power to you. But I’m not going to trust someone in the internet who has not heard the difference it makes in my system that I listen to everyday. I don’t know your system, amps, speakers or level of equipment. Just wouldn’t make any sense. But anyway. Last response to you because you will go on and on and on. Take care. |
