I agree. I am an audio aficionado, meaning I enjoy good, pleasant sound. Toward that end I'm constantly upgrading and tweaking my audio system, because I truly enjoy the changes these upgrades are bringing me. Where things become illogical is when I read how many people spring into action and organize impromptu witch hunts the moment someone logs in here to report some improvements to the sound. For example, if I upgrade my speaker cables, or my mains power conditioner, and report back how I truly enjoy the changes it made to my system, I invariably get a lot of angry replies, sometimes even right down hostile, with some people foaming at their mouths and claiming how I'm a troll or a moron etc. Why such hatred? Where is that coming from? I could understand the hatred if, by me purchasing some audio accessory, I'd rob some member here of their hard earned cash. But that's not the case -- I'm paying everything with my own money. Consider wine aficionados, for a contrast -- if I'm into enjoying a good bottle of wine, and I'm discussing various brands and years etc., no one is going to start threatening me if I report back how I went and bought a $500.00 bottle and how it was, to me, money well spent. So why are people getting so riled and upset if I do the same on the audio font (i.e. I spend $500.00 on upgrading my mains conditioner)? -- magiccarpetride ------------------------------------------------------------------------ magiccarpetride's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37863 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=92918 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
