There is so much passion and single mindedness across the board, it may well be a unifying audiophile trait, chuck in a good dose of obsession and I figure we’re just about there.Tao, no way am I trying to change him. If you know anything about Ron, you'll know he's a very passionately single minded fellow. His system building, and fight to sort his room, are testament to this.
He started a thread throwing skepticism on Paul's statement, and we've followed suit w our individual levels of skepticism aimed at Ron.
I'm just wondering had Ron heard digital that was palatable to him several years back as the MSB is palatable to him now, and my Eera cdp is an example of truly analog-centric digital, a 2009 design, maybe Ron would have at least partially embraced cd.
My 180 a decade ago, starting w Emm Labs, and completed by Eera, was a wake up call to be open to digital. And has pushed me harder to get the most out of my analog.
As I wrote my previous post on letting be I realised I’ve been trying very hard to ‘help’ one of my parents lately as they are later in life and my assisting/caring/controlling position is needing a very solid rethink... and that even though some of the stuff happening is borderline bat-s#%t crazy that only the part when they are out on top cleaning the roof in the middle of a heat wave (and are in their mid-80’s and have quite poor movement and balance) is actually a step too far and then needs an intervention. If mum just insists on listening to her record player (which coincidentally she does) then that is ok because she still is just very much in love with the music. Not sure I’ll give her a gift subscription to Roon and leave her struggling with the settings mid-stream at any rate
Ps this is absolutely zero analogy going on here btw, this is all about me trying to get a handle on when I’m helping and when I’m not.
