I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery


Couple of threads have shown up lately. "Should you be an audiophile if you..." either have a certain type of gear, have a certain amount of money, or don’t make your own.

I personally reject all of that. I’m here for the enthusiasts, and those who suffer. That is, people who are enthusiastic about listening to music via electronics and those who are suffering with problems who need a little help. That’s how I try to build a community.

Also want to point out, again, that this hobby was built by hobbyists and tinkerers. The range included backyard self-electrocuting iconoclasts to scientists in acoustics and electrical engineering. I’m happy to welcome them all.

Laslty, I want to say something about the Porsche metaphor:

1 - All Porsches are ugly. This is an indisputable fact no one wants to talk about and means all debate needs to stop right there.

2 - Any motorcycle is more fun and exciting than any car.


Thank you for reading this and I’m glad I had a chance to nip these conversations in the bud. << evil troll laugh >>

Firstly, what does your second statement "Any motorcycle is more fun and exciting than any car." have to do with "All Porsches are ugly.


Trolls do not have to explain themselves.
Dude, my crazy uncle painted an MG with a brush and latex paint. 

Lets talk about bad repaint.
  Interesting.....Funny how just the mention of a word or two (motorcycles/cars) can take a post into an entirely different direction,


Hence my evil laugh. :)

Motorcycles are real fun...until someone gets hurt. Or killed.

You can't claim to be engaged if you don't put skin in the game.
