Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler do people bug you because you're an audiophile

Different people find joy in different things. That is part of what makes God's world such a wonderful place.

I think it's all in how you frame the discussion. I run into this same kind of thing with Beer all the time. I try to show people, as simply as possible, how much I enjoy a fine beer. If they ask me, THEN I tell them the "why" or the "how". I think that a large part of having productive and pleasant conversations about audio, beer, computers or whatever is being unfailingly positive and knowing what NOT to say - too much information can be a real buzzkill for some people. It's fun to be around happy people.

And we're a bunch of geeks.

Hear hear.

well most everyone that knows me knows i will say something like a mass market boombox is a peice of junk. I am actuallt embarassed to walk down the boombox isle at walmart or somewhere.. just incase someone actually thought i WANTED one. but i still do it for kicks. i do get a good chuckle out of most of them these days lol. mainly the things it says on the box or the unit itself, or the design.

Yes, beer! I love the fine taste of fine beer, especially canadian beer!

canuck beer and canuck speakers is all you need

I tend to walk through those areas turning things down (or off!). Drives me batty. Of course, I'm a wimp, so I try to do it when no one is looking. Same deal with the car stereo walls at big box retailers.

And who knows, maybe global warming will someday soon make it the finest climate on the continent.
