Mikey,
LOL. You know me quite well, so I should have thought it was obvious where I stood on this matter, and you haven't yet 'fessed up' yourself! ;)
Just to make it crystal clear then:
I'm extremely confident in my hi-fi beliefs and consider the current ones I hold as being 'correct' at this present moment in time, simply because I trust my ears implicitly and the subjective beliefs I have then formed by using them.
This is due to me never making snap judgements about anything in with hi-fi and always taking the necessary time to assess things properly using my own trusted judgement criteria which has been tried and tested over many years.
*However*, if someone successfully demonstrated to me that I was wrong, or not entirely correct, then I would reassess my beliefs accordingly because I'm open-minded and receptive to new ideas and change. As far as I'm concerned that's the way everyone should view things because to be otherwise is simply to be cocooned in the false comfort zone of "la-la-land", as someone said earlier, and in my opinion that isn't a healthy place to be, unless you're on some 'special substances' :eyebrows:
I should have thought though from the tone of the opening post in this thread, and the very fact I started it in the first place, that my views were obvious and that I was trying to get those who may think the opposite from me to come out of the woodwork...
My goal is to make people stop and think and perhaps make some changes to their hi-fi beliefs if necessary.
Ok, smarty pants, where do you stand in all of this? :ner:

Marco,
If music is the important thing and Hifi is the means to the end then why did you start what is primary a Hifi forum?
but seriously,Quote:

hope this makes sense.

I don't really know what I need to 'fess' TBH! :scratch:Quote:

Dunno what else to say. :confused:
I don't particularly care whether my beliefs are prejudiced or "correct" - how can there be "correct" beliefs anyway, actually beliefs are bound to be prejudiced to some extent at least. What matters most is that people have fun in what they are doing, both with kit (whether diy or not) and music. We could next comment on people's musical interests.Quote:

Others will constantly need to have "bake-offs" and "shoot-outs" but that's not for me.
Nice! :)Quote:
