I both love and hate this forum. Unfortunately, it's mostly hate. This thread is a perfect example of why. I like to hear about good recordings. I like to hear insights from industry insiders. But everything turns into a shoving match, or it just starts that way.
Take the title of this thread. "Former" SACD fan? Sounds to me like he still considers SACD to be on a par with DVD-A. He's just had the pleasure of hearing the potential of DVD-A at its best. But of course, everything has to presented with at least a little spin here.
And I hate how you are forced to justify every little comment. How many times has someone had to write a paragraph explaining why you shouldn't take offense to a sentence in a prior post? Or essentially give out your resume so that everyone else knows you are qualified to express an opinion? Or point out smilies???? Come on!
It doesn't take long for someone to get the impression that only industry professionals interested in bashing are welcome to post in threads with any real content. Sure, I can still post in threads about Shania's hairdo, but even there I might have to write a discourse to explain my opinions.
You're driving people like me away!
Anybody know of a friendlier HT forum?
