Long time no see, what's the reason for dipping out? preference for speakers over headphones or just not as interested in the whole audiophile game?
Mostly lost interest in the audiophile game, during the past few years (I retain a very casual interest, but nothing more).
I originally stopped posting because I'd had it up to the eyeballs with materialistic teenagers and man-children vying (and bickering) with each other on the forum to gush over the latest flavour of the month $1000 cable or $3,500 DAP or CIEM, etc., or compete in their neverending conspicuous consumption posts, or bitch & moan that they can't get 100% life-satisfaction from this or that device or manufacturer. Talk about 1st world problems....
That disdain's not aimed at middle-of-the-road genuine folks from all walks of life, simply sharing their enjoyment of the hobby. It's just the harder-core element who seem obsessed with it all from a more materialistic, self-absorbed, and egotistical angle.
I put up with it for 3 years or so because I sincerely wanted to build a useful reference for users of Mojo and because I was loyal to my promise to JF and RW (both of whom, I've never met, by the way) that I'd do right by them and their product, in starting and running this thread. I never received a bean for doing it, and that's because I insisted upon it being that way.
So that's basically all it was - I felt the thread/FAQ had finally matured to a point where I could,
in good conscience, leave it to stand on its own and support Mojo users without my input, and, not a day too soon, I wanted to put behind me the obnoxious minority of muppets who seem to drive a disproportionate amount of the traffic on the forum.
