Disagreements and Conflicts between Audiophiles have we lost our brotherhood and maturity?

Listen everyone. Your audio journey is your audio journey.  I started in this 23 years  ago. I started with a def tech system. I now work in the industry part time.  We just left the Southwest Audiofest 2025 and we Infigo Audio were named one of the best sounding rooms by Audiophile junkie.  Our room was always heavy with traffic and people enjoyed our room. I had the best time. Listening to music and meeting people that were audiophiles from all walks of life. That’s what it’s about. 

It's all social medias fault.

Spats are fine. It is good for  enthusiasts to feel discomfort every now and again. If it gets to be too much, take a vacation or dont participate.  

I agree about the politics and am shocked that the same people keep posting again and again, without consequence, which leads to the inevitable end of some decent threads. These political dudes dont want to discuss they just pontificate. There is an easy remedy to this phenomenon but Audiogon allows it to continue. If it gets too bad then leave these forums and inform Audiogon of the reason. 

seek out cool people to hang with and learn from.. @whart is one of my music n life attitude heroes… seek to be worthy of same ….
