Our Responsibility

As my music system competes with fireworks in the background (4th of July, after 9 pm) I’ve been reflecting on John Darko’s recent post (linked below). Specifically this section:

"Being a hi-fi enthusiast isn’t about the gear we own, the music we listen to or in which format. It’s about how we listen: attentively and mindfully, to the music AND to others."

Perhaps the significance and import of this very special day in our national history has opened up a window within me, to explore this further.

I’m asking our community: What is it that we can do to share and expand our interest and hobby, and this special love of music, with others?

Your "cultivation" sounds a lot like proselytism.  Most people react negatively to that kind of attitude, which is understandable.  I suggest some introspection on your motivations.

I see a lot of confusion between people's enjoyment of music and proselytizing the good sound. My assumption is that everyone enjoys
music. Hi-end gear is not required.

kosst_amojan,

I am not sure where you see my support of deceit or misinformation.  I am not a denier in any aspect of my life.  I think I stated disagreement is fine, but sometimes it seems like it is not done in a civil way, and I do believe in civility also.  I certainly don't believe in, or agree with many opinions on this site and agree many so called tweaks are dust and shadows.  However, I have not personally tried many of these things and since hearing is subjective, who am I to say that someone is wrong in their belief of the difference a tweak makes.  I do think all readers need to read most posts with the phrase IMO after each post.  

Debate away, but let civility preside
