I interacted at AU site where Tuyen was trying to build his new installation:

Eventually I withdrew myself from that community as it was very much beneath my level.  I do not have anything against Tuyen or other people in there but the general level of discourse that is going on in there is too primitive to waste my time anymore. It partially a general attitude that I have lately: I do feel that audio people out there have audio interests that stimulate me very little. In fact I wrote a large post about it, probably I will post sometimes. The situation with Tuyen’s installation is very similar with what I feel about another multichannel- horn installation:

All those guys do right things and express nature interest in improving own playback but they are light miles away from where real sound begin. They are not driven own sonic demands but they rather preoccupied with rendering this or that solution. This is endless travel to absolute nowhere and I feel incredibly bored with those people , the people who do  not invest own personality and own more or less civilized musical demands into audio accomplishments. As a culmination of the Tuyen’s thread was showing up at that forum that retard from Brasil Angelo – the brainless idiot and scam – the materialization the worse in internet Hi-Fi.

What was very interesting in the Tuyen’s thread is the face of a typical Goto user – a person who is so obsessed with his Goto symptom that he is not able to relate to reality.  It feels like foe those people there is no Sound but there is Goto Sound as some kind cult expression. The fun part is that sect attitude is not supported by advanced users but rather by the guys who are in Goto trade.  The most emblematic was my conversation with Goto US rep who in response to my concerns about Goto sound kept telling me that “Goto is not for everyone but only for those who can afford it”. How more idiotic could it be?!

The said reality is that if to look at the implementation of multichannel installations out there and group the topological advancement by the tendencies of owners to use different drivers then Goto users would be at the very bottom of the taxonomy. The Goto users are too stupid to get it but it what it is. Funny but what Tuyen is trying to do with his playback is very much anti-Goto installation, unfortunately he a bit ruined by another cult – the La-horns but this is a whole another subject. It is another subject but it is still the continuation of the very same subject – those people do not build Sound of own mind but they chew each other’s shit without realization that audio is all about.

I truly miss collaboration with a community of audio users that offer simulative ideas and who use audio and a tool of advancement of accomplishments instead of a crutch of mediocrity. Got users feel that Goto are superior driver but the mediocrity of audio thinking from Goto users burst like a volcano. Is it cause or a reason? I do not know the answer. Friedrich Nietzsche when he stop to write by hand and begin to use a typewriter noted that his thinking and his way of expression of own thoughts begin to change and become less fluent. His quote that I use in my signature line: “Our writing equipment takes part in the forming of our thoughts" come from him in response to those events. I wonder: is anything in Sound Goto drivers that make a person to become stupid in the realm of audio-perception? This is the question with very much pending answer and I see a lot of evidences that support this proposition.
