Let's be a little meta: What topics are most hotly debated?


Fuses? Power conditioners? Analog vs. Digital? Class D amplification?


Nope.


The most hotly debated subject is bass.  What to do if you don't have enough, how to make it better, subwoofers, crossovers, EQs, room treatment.  Nothing launches more audiophiles out of there listening chairs faster.  Of course I'm guilty of this too, I've just realized that this is a subject with no end in sight.

Sorry to discredit your power to stop a thread dead in its tracks Tim ( which I am not doubting for an instant...lol) but this time it was Agon itself not you taking a huge dive.
Not in any order, but I agree that cables generate the most heat, or do they?
Pretty sure that hi power tube and class A amps generate a lot more heat........

While I wish my cynicism was in reality just a good joke it is depressingly true of late.

Yes I agree we all need to strive to do better, myself included, but as we all know it is SO easy to be the big bad keyboard warrior!

I would also agree with hilde that I have posted in haste and then spent the next 20 minutes online editing it until it is maybe not quite so blunt and offensive.
But still a spade is a spade.
it is all worth discussion -- so long as the discussion is intelligent, objective, informed and rant free

You know this is Audiogon?
Depends on your definition of "hotly debated"?

Your answer of bass and the reasoning suggests to me that it might be the most common which is distinctly different to hotly debated.

I would have to say Fuses gets my vote for hotly debated, you only have to look at how many went off the rails and that Aunty Fuser succeeded in getting removed.
