I'm kinda new to the forums. For me it was like coming in out of the cold. After being rejected by Greater Toronto Area Audiophile Club for being a HT guy I landed here by luck. Boy am I lucky you guys are great. I believe a lot of us are at the same place at the same time give or take.Thanks for having me.Thanks to all who put in considerable time to make this work.

Barry,

We do love you and anyone who loves music. It's all good. I think today we start a new day and look forward, not back. I just want to feel normal talking about audio, music, and gear. I appreciate everyone here. I know Mike certainly does. Thank you for making us feel at home.
 
Barry, when you have to ask/pay to be a part of something, it generally means it's not worth it for a hobby. Everyone here has an open invite to this site, it's "public". I remember when I got invited in an email to come here, couldn't wait, loved every minute of it since. Just like Superman once said..."stand back, I dunno how big this thing will get"..........;)
 
Hi Barry,
We appreciate your response. Sorry for taking our time getting back to you.
In a nutshell, our members primary focus, by far, is on perfecting Two channel reproduction.
So I am not sure if our interests coincide at the moment.
We sense your excitement, passion and ongoing enthusiastic commitment and any time you want to share it by inviting us to have a listen, we will try and arrange small group of 3 or 4.
Please keep in touch. We look forward to meeting you sometime in the future.

This was their reply.
I don't want to make an issue of this so this is the last I will speak of this. Onward and upward

* Some places some people think of me (or of my friend) as a movie freak, others think that I'm (he's/she's) a youtube Internet addict, others think that I'm (he's/she's) not serious if I'm (he's/she's) into surround sound, ... tra-la-la, and they forgot that my (our) heart is inside the body of a man (of a woman) who once was a young child full of curiosity and passion about music, and who grew up with vinyl and turntables, like most of us (between 25 and 75).

If one thinks that he's above other people because his system is much more expensive, and he acts and is a snob, and disrespects and insults other people; then he's the one who should truly reflect upon himself.
[Don't blame others for your own faults.]
And if he thinks that he's more knowledgeable and experienced than the other people he's talking with, he might be in for a really shocking surprise.
If you start an audio/video site and want to impose/dictate your only own rules to each of the people you target, you shouldn't start your own website in the first place.
...Or just have your own private club; don't need the Internet for that.
{"Treat everyone as they were your teachers, your mentors, as you respect your own university school teachers".
Yep, nice to prophesy this great doctrine, but what real weight does it have if the prophet himself doesn't respect it.
"Respect and be polite with everyone". Yep again; practice what you preach.}

I had it up to here with certain people who run their site like total "against-the-flow-of-their-own-rules" lunatics, and let their mods and close cult members get away with murders after murders!
...Snobs, big egos, power-trip, superiority complexes, neurotic syndrome, unstable dysfunctional disorder, blurred vision, disrespectful, sadistic behavior, negative propulsive energy, dark underground activities, sickos, ... I've seen enough.

Oh mother mother calm me when in distress from all the oppression and injustice. ...Bring serenity into my soul and heart and mind instead of misery and hatred and vengeance.
I want to feel the peaceful breeze above all else.

Geez it feels good to be home finally, among some real family.

Seems to be strictly a stereo zone, and trying to 'perfect' it. But they omit the essence; stereo is also an enveloping music experience, and certainly doesn't have to be restricted by only two speakers.
In the beginning there was Mono (Monotone), and then Stereo (Stereoscopic) which means Solid, Three-dimensionality.

Brian, this is a closed-loop circuit (cult), run from conventionality, and like a religious sect they perform their own extraction into doomsday.

____________

Anyone imposing their own rules, religions, ... upon others is slave to his own demise.
It's not the rulers/dictators who are going to govern, it's the ones who revolt against them.
The true Empire is the People, not this country or that one or this monarchy or that one.

Discrimination comes in all faces, and is no good for humanity.
Way before man was listening to "stereo" music he was listening to the wind and the birds all around him, in surround sound. We got stuck along the way in our soi-disant evolution, mystical reproduction.

"Perfecting two-channel stereo"; if you don't include reverberations from the room, the sound's propulsion, the tone's bounces, the reflections, the dispersion, the inflections, the surround activity (behind and above and to the sides), then you simply put your head into a type of vise grip, without movement, without freedom, and without life.
Sound is expansion, not compression. ...And like I said before it is not restricted to only two channels like from the grooves of an album spinning on a turntable and tracked by the stylus (shaped diamond) of a cartridge.
I love perfecting my 2-channel stereo listening experience; improving the stability, reducing the noise, etc., and I also love to spread it all around, just like in a great concert hall. ...Be it classical orchestral music, classical chamber music, jazz orchestrations, blues bands, chorales, and all that world music stuff that is so sweet to my ears and vibrating chords of my soul.
Improving stereo music also starts with the recordings themselves; the quality of the people who record the musicians, their sense of getting things right, in and out.
And more often than not, if you improve your own quality choice of music, you are improving your audio hi-fi rig as well. And great great music recordings come in stereo and multichannel as well.
The recording mixers/engineers do their part, we do ours at the listening end. And nothing is going to stop us from experimenting and go beyond conventionality (2-channel stereo restriction).
And for the vast majority of recordings, it's the artists themselves and/or the record label company executives who decide how much and what type of EQ to use on them recordings. The mixing engineer simply applies the directives.

It's up to us to choose wisely the right music recordings done intelligently by the artists we appreciate listening to, the studios were the recordings took place, and the people who made the right recording decisions.
Example: Channel Classics, ECM, Reference Recordings, AudioQuest Music, Analogue Productions Originals (etc.) record labels, and all the artists/musicians/singers under their splendid umbrella.
 
I love this site but am still bummed about being banned from other site with no reason given. Oh well - I signed up my alter ego there...lets see how long i last.
 
It's not always the one who got banned who's truly at fault, it is often the one who did the banning.

How many times the police is abusing their power and wrongfully imprison the non guilty?
How much of our tax dollars goes to corrupted high officials of our societies?
How much are we paying for other's mistakes?

Who is accountable and wants to take full and fair responsibility for all his actions?

It's all of us. And it's up to all of us to stand our ground and say no to any type of aggression, and espouse peace.

Where's Joe, aka joeinid?
 
this sounds like the dictator from North Korea lol

BTW - just found my PM conversation with Ivan with regards to the infameous MBL made in China thread (since deleted).




And we all know how this all ended:


I'm surprised I didn't get banned for 'challenging the moderator' (i.e. saying the truth and defending someone's reputation).

Hi all,

I'm new to this site and also from the other site. After reading this thread I'm so speechless. I'm glad I joined the shark. I hope "anonymous group" nuke (the other) site.

You can't do that over there; once you've been banned you have no access to the site any more; completely vanished!
I just don't understand why! That's the only place that I'm aware of that operates this way.

I had some great friends there (Terry, just quick out of my head), and I lost total communication. :(
I gained many more here though. :)
