An interesting shift of perspective


As a devout member of a Rush forum, I sometimes refer to my system apropos of a conversation thread or whatnot. However, most members have no clue about any of the components I mention. I chanced upon this thread the other day which should be a clear reminder of how the vast majority of the tech competent world sees audiophilia:

Actually, no. Most Rush fans who are on forums tend to be highly educated, mostly in tech and science and teaching fields. They tend to be 35-50 with outliers on either side of the range.

However, I think that forum thread goes to show that even serious music fans aren't part of audiophilia as much as we are. Just like the vast majority of the rest of the listening population who are comfortable and impressed with Bose and Beats by Dre.
No, you're not. "Audiophile" is a relative term, I guess. Much like "good music".
"Simao, science and tech ARE training, not education."

There; corrected.

Respectfully and vehemently disagree.
