"The Mystery Of Sound Is Mysticism"

He was undoubtedly searching for something and perhaps it would have made more sense if he had survived longer.

The only thing worse than being old is being old and alone. No, that is not right. Old, alone and without a stereo. That is the worst.

I don’t think at all that @mijostyn is as negative as he may seem. Stubborn as a Georgia mule, yes but I have come to recognize him as one who has a peculiar talent to spark debate with the keen ability to make others want to participate.

I’ve seen him use a paragraph or even one sentence to start the debate about, styli, tonearms, turntables, subwoofers and seen everyone from, chackster, Raul, Atmosphere and even Audiokinesis want chime in and this would go on for days.

I say this in with a positive vibe. But I’ve never seen so much fatalism from you? Take care my audiophile friend, I’ve been fortunate enough to learn so much from you here on Audiogon.

Life is too serious right now to spark debate for the pleasure to spark a debate...

I only said what i think and i never spoke to spark a debate...

And i dont enter threads to extinguish some positive light because i cannot support the idea that others can make sense of it and i could not ...

Sometimes i lack humor, i am too serious and i had little patience for short sight people...I am enthusiastic and never take lightly people who kill enthusiasm in the students...

That explain my reactive posts .. 😊

I thought that it was John Lennon that claimed Smokey was America’s Greatest Poet.

’Bob Dylan famously called Smokey Robinson “America’s greatest living poet” for the exquisite beauty, pain and affection in lyrics to “Tracks of My Tears,” “Tears of a Clown” and so many other songs Robinson wrote and sang during his heyday at Motown in the 1960s and 1970s.’

@mahgister, you can check out Smokey Robinson's “Tracks of My Tears and “Tears of a Clown” on you tube. You will love his poetry!

Point taken - understood (teacher). But please let me have my own inner truths, after all the path I choose is mine. And I in no way was dismissing your vital contributions.

It’s that sometimes one has too counter a bad vibration with pleasant or good vibrations. Sometimes you have to try another path. Check out - Good Vibrations - Beach Boys 1966. After all this is Audiogon.

My words were not aimed at you but at mijostyn...

You dont kill any "hope" for the infinite...

Mijostyn assigned to himself here this task...It is not the first time he confuse his materialist gospel as pure truth ...

He never debate by the way, if he spark debate , he has no arguments for a philosophical debate...
