"what forums do you post in?"
Actually none regularly. But the ones I scan daily are General, Amp/Pre, Critics, Digital, PC, Cables and Tweaks. And I review the New Posts list daily.
I am far more interested in audio and audiophiles than in sports, wars, stocks or politicos so this is my daily "infotainment" as I don't do TV. Naturally I love music also but I don't care to read about it, it's better listened to...
Besides enjoying music at home I am fascinated by the subtleties that we can perceive and how little energy they need in the big scheme of things to mess up the experience. Of course that's concentrated on these fora because folks that don't notice or aren't bothered by such things have better things to do and don't hang out here.
Being a lifelong, hard-bitten electronics guy, I find the audiophile struggles and angst fascinating and personal because I care about the results as much as anyone. It really IS amazing (and frustrating) what we can hear and I believe trying to sift out causation is a noble effort. To me AA is like a huge engineering lab with a few good Sr. Engineers, some very knowledgable specialists and a slew of technicians whose skills run the gamut.
So it's sort of like the interesting parts of work, but without any responsibilities or deadlines. Ah retirement is sweet... Sure, some of the mystical bullshit can grow old as can the advertising from some vendors. But the price is right and buried in the user speculations and arm-waving, but ALWAYS unspecified or quantified vendor claims are some interesting nuggets to consider.
One survival mechanism that I've developed over my decades in electronics is to trust the observation but ignore the explaination. Decoupling the two is just magic. Most of the time... If you are at all interested in making AA part of your life consider trying it.
Regards, Rick
