I, of course, agree. Nevertheless, I do not know what anyone can conclude from such threads. Why do people type rather than listen?

I dont understand the audio forum mentality. Everybody wants to do DIY but nobody wants to Do It For Themselves. Instead they want someone else to do the work and then tell them what will work best for them in their system. A common forum question is: Which is better, connecting the speaker cable to the woofer and then jumper to the tweeter or connecting the speaker cable to the tweeter and then jumper to the woofer? The funny thing is, that question invariably gets numerous replies with each respondent expressing, with absolute certainty, that their preferred wiring method is the correct one. I guess Internet audiophiles are afraid to trust their ears and they seek comfort in following the herd. What if they listen and make the wrong choice (as determined by the herd)? What if they listen and dont hear a difference (when the herd says they should)? Here's the entire post: http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/cables/messages/99308.html ...and I'm officially stopping helping anyone with power issues--unless they can prove they've done enough homework and are stuck somewhere. People who just want answers never truly learn--and can't pass on much either--because they develop no problem solving skills. *** |
Gee, Psychic, I'm truly sorry that my power filter isn't expensive enough. You must know something about the state of the power in my house that I don't. Frankly, I've heard power conditioners screw things up more often than not, so my philosophy is KISS. The filter I have keeps digital hash out of the main wiring, and it works fine. Certainly well enough to permit comparative evaluations of analog interconnects, even with the amps and preamp plugged straight into the wall! You were saying above that people need to do their own work, trust their own ears, and not to ask for others' opinions or approval. I heartily agree. |
