Also read the earlier thread "Missing the Forest for the Trees". Same element and sentiments.
We can all be civil, however this forum (AudioGon) is also where we discuss meaningful agendas like MQA (done to death but still alive). This one has the possibility of splitting the audiophile group down the middle and effect the way we receive music for the foreseeable future. This forum can have some power when we group to agree or disagree on OUR future means of enjoyment.
I have read so many technical papers on MQA, that I see no benefit in introducing another way of messing with the way music was meant to be heard. And some of us have spent considerable money on our equipment so we CAN hear music the way it is meant to be heard. Whether you have spent $5k or $500k, its as relevant because that's how much we can afford on our systems. I for one do not want my music messed with. I like it as I enjoy it - straight, black disk or silver. Why can't we have streamed music as we hear it on radios, be it AM, FM or DBA+. Why change it?
Sorry for taking this forum a different direction, but its important that as a group we can have a voice. We can individually share opinions or experiences on music or hardware or setup help, but the strength of a forum can be to be a voice that has strength to say NO to something.
I am retired, have metal for joints and spine fused. I also found out a month ago I have cancer. I can't do much but enjoy my music, and have a voice. I like my music as it is. I like reading what others say. I respect opinion. I don't want anyone messing it up. Heck, Governments mess up enough things! I can't fight them, except the way I vote. And you got Trump! Have shares in Twitter gone up?
Sorry about the diatribe... time to turn the black disc over. :)
