This area is designated for discussion of all things audio which improve our listening experience.
Who needs another audio forum? I do. I find most audio forums don't satisfy my desire for open-minded, sensible discussions of reasonably priced but excellent sounding reproduction equipment. I'm hoping that people can share their thoughts & views as well as advice here in a friendly & reasonable area where posers, of every kind, are excluded. Neither extremes will be tolerated for too long - neither magical thinkers nor measureist, pseudo-scientists will last long in here.
It is recognised that auditory perception is the final judge of audio quality but it's not a magic black box. It is recognised that measurements do not define how we perceive audio but they are often very useful to guide our way. What I'm hoping will be achieved in this forum is a balance between these two aspects.
This section is meant for those who are pissed off with those who insist that measurements define what is heard and who are equally pissed off with magical-thinkers? Who are pissed off with seeing every thread degenerate into a battle. In other words, we are hoping that this division between these two extremes can be straddled by attracting readers/posters who want a sensible & open-minded approach to this hobby. Those who want reasonable, sensible, open-minded discussions & information about audio.
Let me repeat, this is not a forum for posers showing off what they can spend on audio equipment or measuring equipment, it's for sensible people who enjoy this audio hobby & want to find like-minded sensible hobbyists to share views & information.
I'm also hoping to post interesting audio articles here
To be continued....
A nice post to kick off with, John ...
