Closet audiophiles

Well there are a good number of regular posters out there who, help everyone regularly. There are many more who have incredible systems but don't post, for what ever reason. On more then one occasionI have received private emails answering questions I have asked about high end gear, from members, whom never post. I understand not everyone has the time or desire to “hang out” in the forum section. But it strikes me as odd that they would take the time and send a private email helping me out on something I have posted in the forum section, I bring this up simply because I feel others could be helped if everyone was able to see what these people sent to me. Have any others out there experienced this, and if any of you “closet audiophiles” are out there come on in, share with everyone.

Regards,
Tim

And the other thing is that one may choose to post privately because if they put it on the public forum they'd take alot of heat for it. Not to mention the flames created may do more to hurt the thread starters understanding of the whole thing.

Regarding my post, in a way, yes, maybe not as extreme as my colloquol wording may have painted it. Way back I remember someone wanting a tube amp, several people offered suggestions, and when I chimed in (trying to guide this individual for the better) saying he'd be far better of with a good solid-state model in his system (or virtually any system) for that money another two posts followed saying I was basically stupid and that I ignored the original thread altogether. So it was kind of like, when someone wants tubes, tubes you offer, but don't dare say what's better. Tubes can be ok in select systems, but usually ain't worth it, but that starts the 30year debate.
