New Guy Here..
« on: 25 May 2016, 06:04 pm »
Thank you all for having me! I'm in Evansville, Indiana in Southern Indiana. My wife and I attended and supplied an auction back a couple of years ago after our Uncle Ben Lents passed and left us with a large amount of gear that Dave S. kindly assisted us with. We are forever grateful.

I am an avid listener. I hesitate to use the 'audiophile' term as I'm not sure I am one. I appreciate music and just as importantly the production of a piece. I have a hard time listening to something that may be considered to be great music that simply sounds bad..I'll take it off the table and never listen to it again..Snob? I don't know but I just can't enjoy it if the sound is awful.

Again thanks for the add and hope to join in as soon as they let me!

Welcome, Bill.  You're not a snob, just have discerning taste.  It's hard to focus on the music if the recording keeps getting in the way.

Firstly, welcome to our humble abode.

I'm not sure how many people subscribe to this POV anymore, but to me, 'audiophile' means someone who is interested in the art and technology of recording and reproducing sound. Simple as that. It has little to do with how much you have to spend (or choose to spend) on your system. I think most in the hobby would rather hear music on a good audio system than on a crappy Bluetooth rechargeable speaker because you hear more of the sound. Nothing wrong with that. So plop yourself down in the sweet spot and enjoy.

Eh, you're just hearing sensitive... or is that acoustically challenged???  :roll:
