Should we care if a piece of equipment comes from a pet-free, kid-free, smoke-free home?


I agree that I do not want a preamp or speaker coated with a film of smoke, but I am confused as to what a child or pet could do that would not be otherwise visible. You would see the cat scratches on the speaker grill, the dog chew marks on the rack, the iguana turds in the amplifier cooling vents. And what's a little dog hair among friends? As a 3 year old, I supposedly put my finger through my grandfather's new DIY speaker but I'm pretty sure he replaced the drivers so even that doesn't really matter. Most things will be visible and/or easily remedied.  Maybe the price will even be a little lower because of the cosmetics. If it doesn't mess with function, not a big deal to me.

What concerns me more is does it come from a drunk-free, drug-free home.  I think befuddled owners are far more worrisome than pets or children.

I know people sleep when some others throw  propaganda watchwords..

I prefer to think sorry skip my post... 😊

@mahgister You sound like a nice guy but why do you always have to get philosophical with all your posts?

Yogiboy thanks for your kind reply...And humor...

But someone in a non political thread throw a political watchword : he does not want to buy from fascism home...

I add i dont want to buy from communist home either...

And then i want to explain for those who are able to think where does these political propaganda and watchwords came from IN HISTORY ...

It is not informative to know where capitalism amd Marxist come from ?

This will makes us able to stay away from political ideologue...

I dont like watchwords from any side in this actual civil unrest in America...

Then i appeal to the brain of people in my post , the other poster may appeal to crowd reaction... I do not act like that sorry...

I apologise if thinking may be disturbing but it is necessary to correct those who throw easy watchword....... 😊

Making people think WITH HISTORY is better than stirring the toxic and intoxicated left/right pot ...

Then my posts about music and about also acoustics and about audiophilia system creation are sometimes "philosophical" but i dont speak to crowd i spoke for those able to think ... Acoustic, music , and audio system creation are anyway philosophical journey too it is about understanding not just purchase and blind consumerism ...

For example i just gave many articles adresses describing an acoustic scientific revolution in the understanding of hearing and music right now  in some thread... This is positive no ?

Better than a post appeal to ban fascism ... Why not communism too ? and why not understanding the link between these two monsters ?

We must understand what is a sound to appreciate our hobby ...It is impossible without philosophy of science...

@mahgister You sound like a nice guy but why do you always have to get philosophical with all your posts?

How can you exclude what's not visible?

How can you see communist or left-right-race-lgbtq-ist or pretty much any *ist selling audio?

Can you imagine what fetishist can do to audio?
