WHY DO PEOPLE FEEL THE NEED TO COMMENT ON CABLES AND EQUIPMENT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD?


I have seen loads of comments on cables and equipment that people have never heard. Why is that?

The thing about rooms is yes they are what they are acoustically and tunings can be done to tweak that to various extents, but the decisions one makes regarding what to put into that room and how to achieve the best results possible need to be very well informed otherwise results will still vary all the way from totally awful to quite lovely  and most rewarding.

I have found that when it comes to acoustically challenged rooms, less can often turn out to be more.

I’d say in general if someone posts and asks for opinions, anybody can offer their’s …..no rules attached. Then it’s up to the reader to figure out which ones matter to them and why.

@calvinj  I think we are on the same page.  If someone asks my opinion I’ll give it but I am not one to pass final judgement on things I know little about or have no direct experience with. 

@calvinj you asked a question and I think I provided a valid answer. Don’t shoot the messenger.

There are many nice headphones out there that are arguably not a very good value especially when it’s been demonstrated applying a proper no cost convolution filter like those available for use in Roon can take many less pricey headphones to levels that can compete with some of the best.

There are always smart buys and those that are less so.

It’s typically a matter of opinion what offers value or not and everybody has one. If one is strong in their convictions contradictory opinions of others won’t matter to them and vice versa.

it’s when we start talking about good investments financially that things become a good bit less subjective.
