We gotta stick together. It seems everybody else in the world thinks we're tweaky, self-absorbed neurotics with more dollars than sense. All I can think of is an old Rodriguez (?) cartoon in Hifi Stereo Review that has an audiophile happily listening in the room upstairs as his at-the-end-of-her-rope wife bangs on the ceiling downstairs with a broomstick.
What I'm thankful for in Audio ...
Musicians.
Internet radio stations that curate performers, music and trends for me, the cultural heathen. Thank you Jazzcast.ca , KCSM and KDFC
Roon music discovery
Patient audio dealers. Shout out to Brooks Berdan and Excel Audio.
Audiophiles who help others become audiophiles and spend money wisely at all price points.
Inexpensive measurement gear
Audiophiles who trust their own ears and aren’t afraid of experimenting.
Music streaming! I’ve finally given up wtih filling up CD racks.
Inexpensive storage devices, from USB to SSDs.
Cheap internet.
Audiogoners who reply thoughtfully with their own experience while leaving room for those who don’t share their values, needs or budgets. You are the heroes which keep our hobby from dying out.
Manufacturers and advanced hobbyists who dispel the BS and snake oil, and argue with insight and perspective.
