As you see, I'd say yes. Sorry to repeat this again, but I've studied audio engineering at the university. I've worked as acoustic engineer. I have several small audio "projects" running at my home just for the pleasure of experimenting and learning more on my own about audio things. I read regularly on several web-based audio forums, also several audio related Usenet newsgroups. I have been part of an amateur pop band for more than 10 years, and recorded some of our songs. I can play electric bass, keyboards and piano, having owned them for several years (still owning some of them). I have no musical studies, I've learned on my own and I am no virtuose, but I can "defend" on them, and have been playing them too for more than 10 years.
It is very obvious that I'm not the classical "audiophile" type, but that doesn't mean at all that I'm not interested about audio or don't know about audio. I know about many audiophiles (I'm not explicily refering to you) that in fact only know about audio what they've read at audiophile magazines, or what have just been anecdotally told from other audiophiles, and are in fact, quite ignorant about serious audio.
Originally posted by Neruda ...As far as I'm aware, ricky doesn't even own a set of cans, and shows no interest in buying a pair, so why show up on our site if this is all he intends to do? This is a headphone site, first and foremost, which happens to have a forum for discussion on cables. But that does not mean that you can sit around, saying the same things over and over, without caring about the true purpose of this forum: headphone hi-fi. Because he clearly doesn't give a crap about headphones, I don't see why we should consider ricky to be a true member of our community. I mean heck, look at his profile: Headphone Inventory: zilch Headphone Amp Inventory: nada Source Inventory: nope Cable Inventory: are you kidding? |
