They're mostly wannabe engineers here, like that guy who runs this site:

Technical sophistication
Since joining this forum, I've been both amazed and sometimes intimidated by the technical sophistication of contributors. I'm wondering if many of you are engineers or have some similar background.
It seems that in-depth knowledge is sometimes (oftentimes?) required to set up a top-level system and - despite reading a couple of books and this forum, supplemented with online sites and a subscription to "Stereophile" (and "Absolute Sound" in the HP era) - I have no clear and present idea about what's going on, at least at a fundamental level. I've had "audiophile" (as defined by reviewers at various points in time) equipment for decades, but I consider myself a dilettante in this arena.
So, what are forum members perspectives on this observation?

There are online resources far more credible than what you'll find on this site or the magazine pubs - the BBC archives for example: https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/search?query=Harwood&submit=&page=1 |
