... and so many on cables?
I am sure there are 10 if not 50 times more posts on cables too?
I would hope that as audiophiles we could agree that acoustics are far more important than cables. A cable may (or should) make a fraction of a db change. Acoustics can make several db changes (or more). A cable may have some impact on clarity or soundstage (and many can rightfully debate that). Acoustics absolutely will have an impact on soundstage.
So what is the reason?
- Is it because acoustics are "hard", i.e. you really have to put some thought into it?
- Are acoustics not sexy enough?
- Is it because they are often unattractive?
- Is it because they carry much in the way of bragging rights (at least with many audiophiles)?
- Do they not provide enough "retail therapy"?
- Most audiophile really don't understand much about acoustics and can't contribute?
- The difference between those who understand acoustics and those that don't is substantial for people are fearful of wading into discussions?
Interested in people's thoughts. People will drop thousands on a cable, $10K on an amp, or turntable, but I don't see anywhere near that spend on acoustics in most cases.
