Post Subject: Diapers and other developmentsPosted by rowuk on: 11/1/2014

When we are babies, we don't know much, but still have an IQ higher than a carrot. We crap in whatever we are wearing - smart parents choose diapers. We reach a point when we cry when the diapers are full and get relief when someone else changes our diapers. We do not yet have a solution (don't crap in the diapers in the first place) for the problem. We do learn however with time that there are alternatives to hygiene!

All of the serious audio people that I know started that hobby liking things out of ignorance and developed a more refined taste for various things over time. The poisoned environment was fine for a long time and only after learning what to listen for, did the warts become the problem. As far as time aligned goes, most of us started with a ruler, then perhaps software with a pulse generator and finally our ears.

The acquired taste is not only "phase aligning speakers", it is developing a taste for picking alistening spot where the alignment is referenced to, it is picking body use that keeps out ears in the non-poisoned zone. It is learning to live with the necessities of advanced playback. I don't smoke, so I can't speak with great authority on cigars, but with cognac and wine, we learn the necessities of the trade and develop a taste for what is necessary, then out of a learned desire react.

Can someone who starts audio in a "clean" environment, short circuit the process, my guess is no. Basic hygiene is not enough.

How conditioned do we have to become to be able to resist the marketing machine of the morons? Perhaps content for another thread.
