Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity?

Lots of bad influencers in high places these days. The results are predictable which makes it even sadder. 

@whart I agree with you. Things have changed. I started with a 2500 system. My system currently is 90k retail. Which I thought I would never do. But I don’t think it makes me any better than anyone else. It’s a sound signature i chased for years and now I caught it. I’m pretty much set for a long time. Some people say that but I’m set. Not putting anymore in. I’m just going to enjoy. I also stay away from guys that are arrogant and take offense to the smallest things. I don’t want to argue with folks like that anymore. I’m sick of the know it alls. I may not agree with you but it doesn’t mean I hate you.

@mapman I agree. You are right. Everyone has an angle nowadays. Not speaking truth.

@sls883 I understand that.  I sold someone something once and because I didn’t let them try the speaker cables fast enough they immediately trashed me and product that they really loved just 2 months earlier.  It became personal. Not musical but personal. I didn’t get into this for that. I just wanted people to enjoy the tunes and the brotherhood. But unfortunately, that’s the way it is. This hobby should be happy and stress free. People shouldn’t be know it alls and we should treat each other with respect. Not silly disdain 

Yup. It’s the age of the “unmensch”. It started back in the 80’s with Morton Downey Jr. and has gained ground ever since.  Things go in cycles. Maybe we are all ready for a change.
