Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
Against the idea. But if it comes to fruition tweak the title of the sub-forum to Madhatters and Enfusiasts. Also once again someone posts you have to buy and try the product to have an opinion. Balderdash. Not possible. Have to peel away the mar... 
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
OP, Many come here to learn. To let unproven claims and fantastical benefits go without criticism does us all a disservice. Mockery may cross the line but it has been an accepted practice of discounting emotionally based assumptions. The fishing ... 
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
The thought process that one must try all products in order to form an opinion is ridiculous. An impossible condition. To dispute puffery in a court of law insures failure. To dispute it on a forum, well, as one put it so succinctly, a free sandbo... 
Audiophile virtues
I recently read that our appreciation for Art is the search for Beauty. Sometimes our search for the best sound is far from that. Can the rich man get into heaven? How about the pompous man or the proud? Harley's book is not a guide to meaning; ju...

Forum admiration and requested guidance

Can You Hear Me Now

That Other Audiophile Website
Thank God op did not find a dog hair. Give it an intelligent clean and air it out for a bit and you should be good to go.  
Tiny bridges everywhere, but why?
Make your own out of wood. Paint or stain them. Doesn't ceramic have the same vibration issues as glass? No magic bullets, just some wishful thinking.   
Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE.
1971 has it nailed.Too expensive....maybe the deepest rabbit hole in all of audio.Inconvenient.But nostalgic and has the cool factor.If I had $25000 laying around  
What do audiophiles do in their cars?
CD's in a fair system for 2008. Fosgate? Except the subwoofer under the driver seat. Useless except for gluteus massage. I turn the bass control down to zero. Sometimes I run a Patch cord direct to my V40 phone for Tidal. It has an above average Dac.

What is it about grumpy old cynical men? Innkeepers with all the answers. Have no room in their closed minds for Mary or anything that challenges their insular shallow minds. And the irony is the OP's thread ostensibly relates to philosophy. Lenno...
