Bully pulpits


It’s pathetic that so many alleged audiophiles use a hobbyist site like Audiogon as a bully pulpit to express political or conspiracy opinions. Thank you for spoiling so much of what an enjoyable hobby forum used to be.

I remember taking an elective in college on eastern thought. One of the topics was thought- reactive vs creative. There is nothing wrong with reacting strongly when called for, but to react strongly to something that many likely laugh at, should be examined. The creative part was about the joy of building upon any conversation to see where it goes. We all have the skill to add to the discussion. It was a good class, thank for bringing up the memory. As for your topic, I get a few good laughs from this site, I wouldn't change anything- but the ignore button that facebook has would be nice at times.

I’ve owned the Nordost QX4 and QB8 together with Frey 2 cabling and it added a vibrancy and 'your are there' perception to my system. A few times my wife and I had our kids turn the QX4 off and in a blind test and we both heard the difference 10/10 times. It is very expensive for a return that you might get with component upgraded depending on what you have now..

Haven’t tried fuses yet. I trade a fair bit of gear as part of the journey so to drop a few hundred on fuses after a few hundred on tubes for something that I have a 70 percent chance of selling....That said I have excellent synergy now so I might, if I decide the synergy is more fun than the adventure.

I question your post placement btw, perfect place to bring up fuses?
