Introspective of this forum: "Does the Audiophile Community Have a Promlem?" I Say yes!!!


This article is so insightful to this forum and the toxicity in the community. (My Opinion)

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?

I know I have contributed to the toxicity here and will try to be a better citizen. Hopefully some will read this and see they are part of the problem (LOL)

Some will not and continue to play their roll as the Toxic Avenger.

There is a particular board on a specific forum that was hidden from the outside world because of how horrible it was. Where personal politics and racism was the norm 24-7 and one member even committed suicide after months of abuse. We watched him fight with other members on a daily basis and get a lot of heat back. He was fine most of the time when dealing with him on a individual basis but then he descended into some really horrible commentaries about race and certain countries and he went down the rabbit hole into some dark places.

Websites like ASR hold zero interest for me because a lot of the users are just there to be “right” and make others feel very small because their views don’t align with certain points of view.

@tubebuffer  Thanks SG is a treasure and his video is spot on. If you haven’t heard  or experienced something how can you honestly comment? It would be great if a poster was honest upfront and states something to the effect “ I haven’t heard this but it is crap or snake oil etc. “. That way you know exactly where they are coming from and you can toss their comments in the delete bin. As I have gotten older and hopefully wiser, I have found that it is a lot of fun and educational to go through life with an open mind. 

@roxy54 that is your opinion and you are entitled to it.

was just provoking some thought.

Have a great evening.

ASR....

Reviewed the Lounge LCR MKIII Phono Amp.

Gave it a huge thumbs down.

Did not listen to any vinyl.

All I needed to know about the site.

Next try out is the Lounge LCR MKIII and/or MKIII Silver Wire.

Simple try to break the ideological line on ASR...

Good luck....

Here the ideological lines are way less enforced in stone,but there is more AVERAGE dudes with not always very great talent in diplomacy and politeness...

Merry Christmas to you and all....

This forum seems much more hateful and toxic than anything I've seen on ASR.
