Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?


Why should we be subjected to audiophile deniers, on a site dedicated to audio?
It’s antithetical to the hobby and adds nothing to the pursuit. I want to quote something from another thread.

@djones51 wrote "exposing bull products like "audiophile switches, cables, fuses " and other highly questionable devices that serve no purpose"

What then, is the purpose of people with this agenda being on this site? To “expose bull products.” It’s fine for someone to post they tried a product and it didn’t work for them, but to dismiss entire product categories is not a discussion that belongs on an enthusiast forum.

Would a car enthusiast site stand for this type of post?

Try going on a Porsche forum, just for example, and posting that your Mustang is just as fast 0-60 and that others poster’s claims about their driving experience is “dubious.” See how long that will be tolerated

There are plenty of sites to poke fun at audiophile’s obsession with cables, power conditioners etc. Why does it belong here, especially when we can’t mute specific posters?

What’s next? Arguing that speakers that measure the same must sound the same and that we are all suckers for buying expensive speakers? I thought we got rid of trolling?

Isn’t it obvious with all the ASR related posts here lately we are being trolled?

A couple of months back I read a post here about someone that ordered a new cat8 cable from China. I tried it and posted back my fantastic results for others to benefit.

Personally that’s the kind of forum I’m interested in, not to come here to be challenged about what I hear and that since it can’t be measured so it must be “dubious.”

*sigh* Always disappointing how 'religious holidays' seem to bring out the 'drunk Unk' to the table, bitchin' about how the beans give you gas while he's fouled his Depends....

Why there seems to be a tendency to couple ones' audio prefs to political stance may have some validity, but still seems a 'boarding house reach' that pleases no one.  Tossing race into the lumpy soiled stew just invalidates rationality for all involved, loss of focus blinding one to the oak tree ahead.,,,

Thanks, Frank....and placing ones' hand on a typical sheet of blank copy paper proves that whole 'concept' as stupid...unless one is albino....

...then you have different issues to cope with....

We're all at our best when we can keep our frontal lobes In Front on the issue, and ignore the lizard brain stem that just yearns to Bite.

Arguments Occur.  Hardwired in the DNA, no way to delay trouble everyday.

No excuse for stoking the fire into a virtual F2F hissy fit on this playground.

If you can't play fair, go bench for awhile....

Humanity has enough real problems ongoing....leave 'em at the door, Please.

Happy Easter.  Stop painting the eggs black.

It's time for the Klingon Opera 7:34!

Suffer through this, and understand why 'the Real World' doesn't strike me as being any less disjointed (pun, yes, intended) that this episode of 'taking your brain out to play...' ;)

May not have left me not insane, but adaptable...😏
