This is another type of appalling idiots that I can’t stand. Thos people run across audio enthusiasts in desperate but violent desire to develop a friendship. Not even a friendship but some kind of surrogate of familiarity that based upon absolutely contrived and falsely fabricated rational.
The internet is a great tool for them that allow them to make friends in large numbers. Those people recognize that you use the same cartridge in your playback or use the same driver in your speakers and they feel that it itself is some kind of a justification for you to distinct them from crowd. I really hate those countless emails from around the world with the typical “Oh, my god, we use the same color cable elevator, will you agree to be a Godfather for my children?”
I find this notion is absolutely ridicules; in fact I absolutely reject any unity in audio based upon the similarity of equipment or playback methods. AUDIO IS ABOUT UNDERSTANDING NOT ABOUT USE, and until an audio person demonstrate to me understanding I treat the person with presumption of audio Moronity ™ - and I have a phenomenally high success rate to sniff out the idiots from light-year distance.
That foolish “friendship” based upon the similarity of audio equipment is very frequently leads for the Morons organize into Audio Groupies where possessions or use of some kind of audio element become a Masonic hand shake between the member of the clan and those member are willing to suck each other proverbial disk just because they buy their audio from the same dealer and read the same review or just because both like 14inch tonearms. I would not even mention that the Morons go corporate-defensive and in instance convert themselves into brainlessly-angry barking scavengers if they feel that anybody doubt third clan superiority… Anyhow, you know the picture of it very well…
It is truly beyond me why in any other dimension might be reasonable people feel a need to united into some absolutely idiotic clans and develop idiotic relationship that are based on the fear to be on your own. Well, when I say that the majority of audio people are degenerates then I truly feel that audio friendship is something that if not seed then pollen of audio Moronity.
