Why aren't the older members still active ?

BTW, Albert, I'm just having fun with not being on your list. I see a lot of familiar names on this thread, yours among them. Thanks for the chat everyone.

That's the trouble with getting old, I can't remember all the members that have gone missing :^).

I agree with comment about occasional lack of manners. Still, it's pretty civil at Audiogon compared to other places.

I still learn from member posts, even after all these years. I also enjoy reading about system upgrades and component testing by people here.

I became a member in 2006; I am also 59 years old. One reason I don't post as much is my system is stable. After years of listening, I know what I like so I keep it. I read posts but I don't post very often now. But, I have been known to change my mind, so who knows?

Another reason are all the ones stated above; they are all valid! I'd spring for two JC-1's to replace my Class D amps if the economy was 10x better than it is.

I am also an Analog Circuit designer; I've been designing audio stuff for a long time now. So, a lot of questions that are often asked I simply ignore since my viewpoint is quite different than most of the posters who usually answer. I'd rather let them banter back and forth - an honest factual answer in this case would only destroy the fun!

The last reason I post less often is I find I am sick of the BS in most audio ads - and the BS hasn't changed in the decades since I started in audio. Audiophiles end up being the victims most of the time, which I find disheartening. I use the word "most" here, not all ads or companies BS and there are numerous honest companies out there. But I do believe they are not the majority in terms of ranking by annual sales. Frankly, I don't know how to give an honest answer when the discussion is whether BS argument A is better than BS argument B! One would have to eliminate the BS first to see the real answer. How can one do that????

Great post, the whole post actually.
Imagine the amount of work it would take to refute all the "BS." It would be like a full time job.

Precisely, Timrhu, Precisely!
