these are lifelong learning experiences...
1) that all audiophiles are a little crazy (including me)
2) that if something arrives damaged, it is ALWAYS the other persons fault.
3) that anyone can make really, really expensive cables AND sell them, IF they are good at marketing.
4) that SOME of those expensive cables are really, really worth the money.
5) that MOST audiophiles need someone ELSE to tell them which are are good, and which are not. (they can't tell).
6) that a good percentage of audiophiles think the other percentage are idiots, because of some trivial belief.
7) that it takes at LEAST 5 audiophiles to change a light bulb..
8) that all audiophile have at least a few recordings they like to play over and over. Some of those audiophiles.. because they love the music, others because they think it makes thier system sound good.
9) that audiophiles are a dying breed.
10) that endless debates NEVER solve anything, that listening for ten minutes DOES solve.
11) that the gulf between audiophiles and mp3 lovers will someday close in our favor!!
12) that buying something NEW is not always the answer.
13) that selling the thing we just replaced has WAY more seller's remorse than we like to admit.. later...
more to come....
