@mahler123 you know what.  You are right my friend. I agree I will not cap them if it creates a calmer discussion and you are 100% right it does.

@thecarpathian you are 100% correct that’s why I responded in length in the above posts. I get what you are saying 100%. You hit the nail on the head. For example you can have a great sounding system without the expense of having an expensive syst...

There is also in some cases where with some people you have to accept that they will always want to so called win an argument. But when you have made an investment in equipment with low noise floors that have been tested to a -140 db. When your eq...

I think the inability to accept that one might be wrong is the bigger problem. My experience is that a lot of systems may not be good enough or properly matched well enough to hear differences.  If your equipment or set up isn’t transparent or hav...

@everyone I have had to catch myself.  People challenge your integrity. People speaking disrespectful to you. I come from an era where I was raised by grandparents and you just didn’t say certain things to a woman or a man.  The internet has made ...

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
@knock1   @coralkong     scottwheel seems like he is the kind of guy on Audiogon that I talk about in this post. Hellbent on telling us 1. We can’t hear 2. It’s expensive so it must be snake oil. 3. We don’t know better so we must be told our faul... 
Do people tire of audio forums?

WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
@nonoise yes sir.  Perfect caption. I love the music the way it takes the stress away. I’m old school. I watch my language. I may goof around but I’m careful when I speak to men. You just don’t say certain things. Old school. I like positivity. I’... 
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR?
@nonoise some if the responses and repeated responses pushing opinions on people is what this has devolved to.  I remember 12 years ago when it wasn’t like this. Some people get so frustrated that you will never agree with them it gets personal. W...

@scottwheel im done .   This is turning into too much negative energy.  Look I enjoy the hobby. I enjoy the music.  I’m not on here for the same reason you are.  I wish you nothing but the best.  Enjoy your system. Not gonna argue with you anymore...
