I learned that we lost Ronnie Gallagher 23 years ago, and that you can be a Nazi, a convicted child abuser, a dog torturer and a waifu-jizzing psychoporker on the Hoffman forum, but you can't say 'record player'. Don’t forget to add that until you can SEE music dynamics you wont know if, regardless of how great it is, you should like how it SOUNDS..

But, I suppose the biggest thing I've learned is that audiophilia is a disease, and those affected by inevitably become boorish assholes. Yeah, this. Most definitely. I have no problem with people being snobs about the music they listen to, because I think you need to be able to say why one artists music is "better" (whatever that means) than another. Otherwise, we all just agree that all music is great just because it's music and the art and the artist don't matter at all. Saying something like, "That $1200 turntable has a very underrated arm and can easily accept a $5000 cart" is all you have left if the art has no value. Power cables don't change sound. Regular cables don't change sound unless it's got something to do with a long run and improper shielding, in which case anyone can hear the interference and it's a fixable event. Thinking you can hear the difference between copper and oxygen free silver or whatever is a load of crap and saying you can hear those differences makes you a dill hole.

I like the ones that say they can clearly hear the difference between DACs.

I no longer remember how it was that I discovered the old SC, but once I did I virtually stopped going to SHiteville altogether. SC was so much more entertaining. Yeah, there used to be (maybe still is but I can't be arsed) some bits 'n' pieces of actual useful info over at SHiteland, but the noise and the dickwads that make it were/are such a turnoff. There are dickwads over there, and know-it-alls. I don't know which are more annoying. I no longer have an account; I got banned at some point years ago now over something really dumb, can't remember what it was. I learned lots here at SC. Most of it about what an asshole STEVE is.
Edit: I remember now how I discovered SC. Something on the Hoof forum about Buddy Holly sounded... odd, so I did some googling and found this (which is still up): www.houstonpress.com/music/bone-to-pick-6567653 and from there, googling around "Buddy Holly master tapes" I somehow hit SC. My eyes, as is said, were opened.
