Our Responsibility


As my music system competes with fireworks in the background (4th of July, after 9 pm) I’ve been reflecting on John Darko’s recent post (linked below). Specifically this section:

"Being a hi-fi enthusiast isn’t about the gear we own, the music we listen to or in which format. It’s about how we listen: attentively and mindfully, to the music AND to others."

Perhaps the significance and import of this very special day in our national history has opened up a window within me, to explore this further.

I’m asking our community: What is it that we can do to share and expand our interest and hobby, and this special love of music, with others?

I kind of thought that paragraph was to tell us to enjoy our music and allow others to also enjoy. Share opinions but respect what they are, opinions and none of us should be insulted because another feels differently. Something that appears to not have been done by the second response. Disagree but don’t hate

kosst_amojan,

I am not sure where you see my support of deceit or misinformation.  I am not a denier in any aspect of my life.  I think I stated disagreement is fine, but sometimes it seems like it is not done in a civil way, and I do believe in civility also.  I certainly don't believe in, or agree with many opinions on this site and agree many so called tweaks are dust and shadows.  However, I have not personally tried many of these things and since hearing is subjective, who am I to say that someone is wrong in their belief of the difference a tweak makes.  I do think all readers need to read most posts with the phrase IMO after each post.  

Debate away, but let civility preside
oregonpapa-

Thanks!  I was having trouble finding it.  I used the link and of course now see it.  A big difference?  I have very stable power and dedicated 12 G wires to dedicated breaker.  I assume you have similar and this improved your SQ even further? (Not to steal this thread)  Anyway, thanks for the info and perhaps I will need to try in my own system to answer that question
