I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest


 around here on Audiogon. They are also usually very knowledgeable.

What's your impression?

The patience and meticulous attention required for reel to reel probably would make for a calm, friendly, and controlled personality.  Does this make such owners also more inclined to be serial killers?

Most audiophiles, if they met such a fate, would not be missed.  It is mostly a solitary pursuit.

I fit only one half of the description--I am very much a tube person, particularly low-powered tube amps, but, I don't have the patience for reel to reel, nor the money for it.   I have enough exposure to good reel to reel playback that I do appreciate how good it can sound.
