There are people of all kinds, backgrounds. That is no excuse for abrasiveness. I have been an audio ethusanist since 1969. I got my first Pioneer 424, 10" Utah speakers, a dual turntable. I loved that system. I was a 7th grader. I wanted the Scott reciever at 35w but lawn mowing money saved could not buy it. So even back then, I could decern a quality of sound difference Though the years I have followed audio with HI Fi magazine's dreaming what it might be like to own a Mark Levinson system. I will never have that, and happy with what I do have now. Some people are never satisfied with what they have, others are. The aspect of the excitement in the audio world by learning from others is priceless. Being old school and new it digital, several really nice people reached out to me how to connect my Shitt audio byfrost via USB to my Blusound 2I. It works beutifully. A big thank you to all of you who love audio at its finest and willing to share your experience, knowledge and systems you have experience with us.
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
I think we have. I have seen many discussion on audio forums and how nasty they can become when you have people disagreeing. Seems like there are a lot more know it alls now. I been in 20 years and I can still learn. But I also know I know quite a bit. Like cables can enhance the sound and higher end well designed gear can truly be ear candy special. Is this just on audio forums or the internet period.
