Put fun back into Hometheater+Music

Music and Movies are fun, they remind us we are human and we love entertainment. Im not sure where this idea got derailed and became so serious and jaded. I hear the points of view in their insulting manner, in their very narrow points of view and i shake my head. There seems to be such a desire to be “right” instead of sharing our audio knowledge in a caring way.

This is pure condescension. You are talking down to people while holding yourself above them. Other points of view are "insulting" and "very narrow" not yours? Is this what you call sharing your knowledge "in a caring way"?

Couldn’t just get a chuckle out of an obviously tongue in cheek post. Had to turn it into a hate fest. I don’t hate anyone- just don’t care for posers trying to pass themselves off as better than everyone else.

Word salad?

You must have been reading some turntable threads. For some reason it is impossible to play a record. Frankly it is impossible even to have a record to play. First it must be cleaned, a process that all by itself consumes more time and resources than exist anywhere, ever. But then even if you skip this step you still can’t play it. For that you need a turntable, for which you need a place to put the turntable, and there simply are no suitable places to put a turntable! Probably you will have to build a whole house- on concrete embedded in bedrock, possibly, or floating in orbit in outer space- and even then it must be in another room from you and the speakers.....
But then even if you skip all that there is still the problem of 175 different alignments and jigs, and probably the arm isn’t even compatible with the cartridge, or the table- or both!

Eventually after all that it will turn out the record you want to play is the wrong one. If it isn’t a crappy reissue then its a crappy remaster or an even crappier beat up old copy - that you can’t afford anyway because the worst records command the highest prices! And why would you want to play it anyway? That is only going to wear it out. All you will hear anyway is pivoted arm mistracking. Unless of course its a linear tracker in which case you hear the air compressor.

That’s what makes it all so much fun. Nothing better than doing the impossible!
