Ironically, I think ’we’ have more in common than the average person who has no deep interest in music or gear. At a certain point, you can keep slicing and dicing the differences- tubes, no only SET, but in the end, it’s still about producing something satisfying. I used to be much more vinyl only, but have gradually accepted digital as a means to access more music. In the long run, what’s the difference between the various sub factions? ("Tribal," to me, connotes ethnographic, geographic and cultural aspects that may not be shared, whereas we choose our positions in things audio and music, though I suppose if you were talking strictly about music, the ethno/geo/cultural aspects would play a role).
History has a way of paving over most of the details and if there is anything else we might also share, it is trying to preserve some of the history- both of the hobby as well as the music. None of this stuff is as enduring as we think it is; stuff is lost, forgotten or just buried under the crush of time.
