Read my answer to him where i corrected his kind post to me ...Truth matter 😊

And dont be afraid my rate of posting is constant as the fine stucture audiogon constant ... 1 post of mine for 137 posts here in the thread i participated only ...1/137 😁

This rate had nothing to do with any "superior" knowledge especially compared with many members here who achieved degree in acoustics or design or audio engineering from which i learned etc but with retirement isolation and taste for music content and aspects and therapy and meanings and interest in acoustics basic discussion ..

my motto is : audiophile experience is possible at relatively low cost because acoustics to begin with and at the end rule design and sound experience not price tags... ..

Here’s that woodpecker again, drilling on aluminum siding.

Thanks to all for an interesting thread and to the OP especially.

I think we have a situation where sound issues become more important than the music itself. As a tendency - an exaggerated attention to sound. Some of this is OK, but when it takes over, not OK. There is a clear commercial input to make music lovers think that way. Get our component and your problems will be solved.

But it is more than this. I wonder, is there a psychological component too. A background withdrawal from music.

That paradoxically can get larger, the better the system, demanding emotional involvement. There is a 'flee' response. One way to flee is to think about sound. Maybe, often, to avoid the full emotional impact of the music.

I am maybe off on a tangent, here.

@audiodwebe great topic for a discussion! Enjoyed reading thru some of the responses.
