Why no as many post about music vs equipment......

This web it has been a second university for me in the last 5 years and I am extremely thankful for all of you that always answer my questions as a novice and in general about the hobby!

Call my attention if we all are looking for the music sublime experience why no as many post about music itself?

I am getting curious about two terms audiophile or musicphile, if we spend a great deal of our lives playing with gear trying to achieve unrealistic expectations that only exist in our dreams, taking a huge amount of time that we can dedicate to explore different kind of music around the world.

This days I am trying to educate myself that is all about the music that I am in the hobby no technicalities as a main course.

Don't take my comments personal is just my opinion and in part to start a debate to clear some of my concerns and misunderstoods about two hobbies in one or something else I might haven't found yet.

Thank you again,

Happy weekend.

We should be careful what we wish for. Look at what happened to the hardware side of this thing once THEY became involved. If THEY get too much into music we will all end up listening to our Krall LP on a $100,000 turntable. Oh, for the good old days, new equipment with real improvements were the norm. Normal people could afford to buy stuff. CD stores everywhere! WE once had stores like Tower Records and Waterloo in Austin, now we have a bunch of strange looking unwashed people peddling worn out LPs that were old when I was a kid. Ain't progress grand!
Let's keep music Off of this site!!

What Elizabeth said. That may have been one of the shortest answer she's given, also one of the best. (Did I say that?)
I found Steve Hoffman's forum about a year ago, at the same time Agon was going thru the change, and it has become my most used site.
The ratio of music vs equipment discussion is just about reversed from this site. As I am no longer searching for the perfect system, it works well.

Equipment and sonics aside....no substitute for good music....but that is highly subjective...one can't live on a Steely. Dan alone

This is B.S.
If Mountainsong would spend half his time reading the music threads as he does pimping his speaker line, he might actually see that there are tons of music threads with many great bands/music to discover here on Audiogon.

Personally, I would love to talk more about music. My problem is that I find writing and communicating about music is a much more daunting task than writing about equipment... which taxes me plenty.

That said, I have been turned onto so much great music here...music that I completely missed and doubt that I ever would have found if not for the contributions on this forum. Thanks you guys.
