CAN WE AUDIOPHILES DO OUR PART?


So we're all tired of hearing about nothing but Covid-19 (or, as I term it, the C-Plague). What can we do, as audiophiles, to help with all this.
I was amazed, and delighted, when I went to the Cardas website to see that they are doing their part. Go to their website and you'll see their director, Angela Cardas, wearing a mask. If you click on the Cardas Nautilus logo in the upper left corner, you'll see pictures of people there in the factory making masks with sewing machines. I called the company to congratulate them, and spoke with a woman named Darla, who said it was their way, during this economic slump, to keep their employees working and also their way of trying to "do our part."
I'm not writing all this to advertise Cardas products. They are a very good company, but trust your ears, not anything I write, when it comes to buying their products. They do get credit, however, for helping me come to a realization that pushed me in the right direction. I called a woman I am friends with, who is 85 years old and is a good seamstress, to suggest she start making masks. She already was--and is. By phone she has organized several other women to do the same, and right now they are needing more material and elastic. I managed to gather about 50 pounds of material and am starting to gather elastic while also getting more material. But I don't sew. I can't help out with that. Any ideas as to what we--all of us who are good with our ears and focused with our budgets--can do to help out in other ways?

I realize this is an odd topic to bring to an audio forum, but it was a very socially responsible audio company that got me to thinking about it, and frankly I believe I should be socially responsible enough to do what I can to get other people to thinking about it. While also being open to other people's ideas about ways someone like me who is "just an audiophile" can help.

Thank you, in advance, for any and all ideas on this.

isochronism,

’phd, I’m sorry to say that you are wasting your time attempting to enlighten some. As Yogi Berra said: "There are some people who, if they don’t know already, you can’t tell ’em". I’m afraid some people still have their eyes glued to the mainstream news TV despite what the President constantly warns against. Fake News. Folks!!’



Nothing to argue with there, but isn’t it always too early to give up on the communication and exchange of ideas?

Aren’t the ones in the wrong, those who seek to distort this exchange via propaganda and censorship?

Common values such as mutual respect and civilized behaviour should be required of everyone, shouldn’t they?

We all know how privileged we are to be living in the western world, don’t we?


As I see it unfortunately the world remains largely tribal, different vested interests in competition. The history of the world is largely one of conflicting tribal interests isn’t it?

In fact those of us without any financial interests involved here on AG could also be deemed a loosely affiliated tribe ourselves, couldn’t we?

Most of us are willing to share our experiences and knowledge via a common language and a common interest for a common good.

Namely a standard of excellence in the reproduction of sound recordings. Unfortunately our tribe has always lacked significant influence and is still generally ignored by the recording industry.

Not that we audiophiles always help our cause by some of our antics.
Werhner Von Braun's headstone say's only: "Psalms 19:1". For those who aren't familiar who he is, research him. Read that Passage from the Bible. Understand what the Firmament is. Now, the big question is: Why would he choose that as his parting words? Honestly, look into that.
You are clearly missing the point. You will continue to keep yourself in the dark, this way. No offense intended.
For those who does not believe Covid19 good luck to you, If you will get big  viral dose on this virus your body will be miserable a, you might even die, google Richard Quest he got it, According to Him I think his neurological function was affected, This virus kills.I don’t understand why some doctors don’t get it.
