The value of Bad. Knowing what you don't want, is as valuable as knowing what you do.


In the flower days of the 60s and into the 80s there were thoughts of everyone and everything being good and personal best.  Most know that there are good and bad people, and no one wants a surgeon that got through school on personal best.   Basically in knowing what I do not want, helps me not waste time and I can focus on what I do want.....and this should not be a surprise to anyone on AudiogoN, it is very much what the pursuit of the absolute sound/the high end is about. 

If you are not sure about this, go to ebay and type "audiophile" in the search bar and look through the listings.

In this current time, we are much beyond "Buyer Beware", in many things from what we consume to who we vote for.  

Perhaps I am different, but knowing I wanted to listen to Jazz and not Disco included the thought of what I didn't want. 

Of course when push comes to shove, there are always Pop-Tarts.....

When you are in love you want only ONE thing....You dont focus on the list which will include all of what you dont want... What is important is what we want and why.... The rest is not excluded, it only exist beside us...

The most important thing is love, the rest is useless listing....

I love music and ideas and my dog ( am i forgetting my children and wife here? Where is my dam list! )

The rest of things dont really exist in a so much consistent way, so that listing them would be useful....



The only useful list is the list of prime numbers by the way..... It is useful for eternity..... 😊

But, knowing what you Really need is what really counts.... ;)

...and the only useful prime to me is as easy as pi...

Nobody will dare to _____ you, you are always a "jooly good fellow",

My best to you.....

If you couldn't attend the A POX ON YA drinking fest, I will order a Shirley Temple in your stead, add an adult adulterant of my choice, and toast my best back atcha'....👍

(Someone has to document a IC 'discussion' @ the bar IRL.....'Ell, I'll bring the subject up, 'vague away' from the fray, and document it....)

I'm such a bitch.....*LOL*

Send 'Mr. K' a r/t plane ticket and a paid room so he could attend....

I'm surprised that there are so many answers to this thread, because it seems like a rambling statement and not a question.
