General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Its weird experiencing jerks and fanatics on the other end too. Ive been to other audio sites and...

After getting into active xover, amping, pro gear and speakers. I went on my usual over indulgence in my hobby. Bought allot of different gear and discovered new paths. This led me to other websites like harmony central, pro sound web and gear slutz. I gotta tell you, its different but allot of the same too.

In those places much of audio voodoo like $1k+ cables, crazy forms of power conditioning, zany tweaks and crazy priced gear with little justification... All that stuff is not nearly focused on or held in high praise. BUT, careful what you wish for. You find the other end of the spectrum where allot of the facts, science and physics are held to high standards. So much so that its often easy to find yourself in a whole new realm where now your beyond comprehension of whats really important yet again.

Reading about the needs and desires of a mastering lab is just as fanciful to (remotely normal :) needs of a enthusiastic home audio hobbyist.

Really Ive found it all to be more comical and entertaining now. The extremes and craziness of all these pursuits. Nothing to get worked up about in general anymore for me.

But yes I do see that sadly the whole home audio scene produces allot of abrasive and unfriendly folks. Not everyone. Plenty of examples of good and bad here. Heck Ive been both at times myself as many do. But I think allot of us, for whatever reason, are wound too tight often.

Brush it off and dont bother trying to convince anyone of anything. And dont take what folks say to the heart. Not worth it on either account.
