ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?


I have been an audiophile the last 20 years for the last 5 years I have worked with Infigo Audio as my industry affiliation.  It’s been my experience in business and audio conversations that there are 2 areas that are interesting. When giving opinions many audiophiles try to come off smarter than the people they are talking to. Also in conflict resolution if you have disagreements they are more willing to go to extremes. Has anyone else experienced this.  Some seem like they can tell you what to do? How to post etc. which to me is crazy. Most of us are 30, 40, 50, 60,70 plus.  Thoughts everyone?

I am used to speak with students with brain ... In my last 35 five years job ...

I never encountered mafia, agressive culturists, or just alpha dudes with balls and no brain ...

I spoke my mind in life but not with killers and not with persons with no interests in ideas ...

Audio is about brain experimenting with acoustic ... Not about muscled bodies waiting to slap you because you are right and price tag dont define good sound ... But the working ears do ... ...

Just my 2 cents ....

I encountered only one time a real gangster and we became friends but he was young and he was discovering at 22 years old why he was a biker ( affiliated to a club) and why it was a dead end ... His I.Q. was so high that i felt a bit impressed by his Jung analysis, i was myself 25 ... He had already killed people ( he never said so for sure  but i guess that  seeing some of his friends bikers ) and he was about to, if not changing his life , at least going back on another parallele road alone... Discussing with him was more than interesting ... Ideas had body with him and were not disincarnated abstractions , I was 25 years old , it was the books interests that make us meet ... He never punch me by the way even in heavy discussion , he was very secure and fear nothing especially not me for sure even if i was older and bigger ...i was i guess the only one able to speak with him about Jung and other not well known writers...

😁😊

All that to say that people here feeling offended by any discussion are not alpha male at all ...And lack brain too ...

Discussing is interesting if we are of good faith and passionnate about a subject as audio is ...

I was so passionnate by audio i read books and articles, experimented and now i know how to embed any system but it will take 6 months at least to me full time for any system...

Some feel offended because i respected knowledgeable people here but i am not so much impressed by high end components and price tag bragging .... Acoustics science impress me ... But to judge a system we must be there listening ...

@mahgister @uncledemp  man I understand that 100%.  I had a rough upbringing that I won’t go into detail about. I survived it and became a lawyer.  But I don’t talk crazy to,folks under any circumstances. I don’t tolerate it either. Once people do that I’m out on them cause I know how I am. Homey Don’t play dat!  Had somebody thumb thugging over nothing I cut them loose!

We grew up in different worlds, likely I can’t relate to yours, and you not mine. But I respect your opinion and viewpoint. You seem like a well-read, peaceful person. Also, I agree with some of Jung’s thoughts, although my understanding is topical.

 

All the best, Mahgister, keep trucking!

 

 

Thanks for your kind words ...

It means a lot for me ...

Nevermind the brain or muscles, we will meet at the heart ...

My respect and best wishes ...
