I am, admittedly, pretty new around here. So if you like, you can take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt ...
What is it about audiophiles and/or some of the folks on this forum that seem to turn every thread into a debate or a tangential rant where people invariably pit their audio knowledge or the veracity of their claims against someone elses? Example: Someone posts a thread asking for cable recommendations, and before it's reached a page in length, the whole premise of the question is attacked. Counter arguments emerge. By page 2, the thread is now a discussion on the science of human hearing. By page 3, tempers begin to flare; now we're on to the hackneyed double blind test arguments. By page 4, you can no longer tell what the orignal thread was about, and by the time it's run its course, the poor sap never got a decent answer to his question. I've gone down this slippery slope myself, so I'm as guilty as the rest, but is this really what we want when we post here? Please don't get me wrong, I'm all for a Socratic debate now and then -- and you can learn a lot by reading SOME of the exchanges -- but there are times I find myself refraining from sharing my opinion on audio matters because I've grown bored with constantly having to turn around and defend it. Just my $.02 for the day. -- Videodrome Two-channel System: SB3 -> Behringer SRC2496 -> Musiland MD-10 DAC; Outlaw 970 Pre/Pro; McCormack DNA-125 amplifier; Quad 11L speakers; Sota Sapphire ttbl. w/ Grado Ref.
