Eenie, meenie, minie, mo. Catch an audiophile by his toe. If he hollers, let him go. Eenie, meenie, minie, mO(-10).....rats!
O-10, O-10, O-10...must you? I have to believe that you simply don’t see or understand how provocative and downright unfriendly you come across with some of your comments and the way that you make them. Why do you make judgments about a person’s motives or reactions without having a basis for knowing? I don’t suppose it ever crosses your mind that no one here is obligated to respond to any comment made; especially when it is not specifically directed at him and, even more importantly, has nothing to do with the subject of this thread and is instead on subjects that have proven time and again to cause nothing more than discord here. Why do you choose to believe that a person is "shrugging off" your comment or link simply because he doesn’t respond to it? Believe me, I considered it and decided it was best to not engage.
As is often the case I don’t agree with your premise. You make negative generalities about audiophiles while being one yourself (mostly in other threads) and I don’t agree with you that there aren't any audiophiles who can afford ultra expensive equipment who also understand the technical aspects. There are. Or, even more importantly, that are able to hear that sometimes that equipment has superior sonic qualities. There are. Sure, there are some who are clueless. So what? You seem to want to pat yourself on the back for being on some sort of higher moral ground or plane of understanding. Really? You have been very open and frank about the fact that you don’t know and don’t want to know about music beyond what you consider "subjective". It seems to me that the same can be said about economics and the true impact of market forces. Have you filled your gas tank in Europe lately?
