It’s how some people choose to interact online. They may behave the same way in person. Some people believe things strongly and feel they have to correct others that think or feel differently. On this site it’s sound on another site it could be politics or food and wine. If you read about emotional intelligence it’s about having low EQ and boundary issues. As my Dad used to say, don’t let the turkeys get you down.
WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM?
I ask the question. Because I have had several discussions on Audiogon where certain posters will try to tell another person what they can or can’t hear in a system. Most of the time never hearing or having experiences either the piece of equipment, cables etc. It is usually against those that spend money on more expensive equipment and cabling. Why is this so prevalent.

Generalizations, assumptions, presumptions, interpolations, extrapolations certainly dominate audiophile discussions. Direct experience with the exact issue or topic at hand doesn't mean much these days, too many voices pulling people in too many directions, I 'd hate to be a newbie audiophile today. Back in the day before social media we needed direct experience in order to learn. I very well remember the demonstrations @mrkrichman spoke about, I was often confused coming out of those as I didn't trust my own expertise or sensory perception. Over time with more direct experiences I became a much more self assured audiophile. |
