Feel vs. Think - take an objective look...

Greetings fellow Audiogon members,

The title of this new thread speaks volumes. Way too much for an explanation here and now. As an experiment, I would like for each of you, at your convenience while browsing any of the discussion forums in Audiogon or any other 'chat' venue for high-end audio - including the major high-end magazines, to pay close attention to the frequency of the use of the word 'feel' or 'I feel' as opposed to the use of 'think' or 'I think' in the context of discussing the various preferences, likes/dislikes, etc., of audio gear.

There is much to be learned about this otherwise minor detail and certainly much more than the casual observer would take into consideration. As a matter of personal opinion, I would venture that entire companys' fortunes and/or viability in the high-end audio community are based upon the aforementioned phrases and their underlying cause/effect upon purchase considerations.

ENTJ, INTJ..who.....whom cares? The real concern is the real. We debate tubes vs. transistors...silver cables vs. copper..and the real point(s) are missed.

Ladies..and Gentlemen, your cd players have zinc/steel signal traces..that lead to zinc/steel female RCA output connectors with fake gold plate. Worse than this, they have one dollar, or less, op-amps as the "audio sections".

So, much of what you debate is not the issue..
