I’m tired of seeing audiophiles slandered at HydrogenAudio and I just had my fair comments removed so I thought I would continue the discussion here where I can’t be censored.
Original thread hydrogenaudio.org/index.php/topic,129168.0
My response to this is to point out that the term audiophile means an interest in audio technology, sadly, these abusive people use the word as an insult and deliberately confuse and conflate fraud and deceit with a deep involvement with audio technology. I believe they do this out of a false sense of superiority, a lack of understanding and a NEED TO BE ABUSIVE. Sadly, HydrogenAudio allows this abuse to openly continue which is why I no longer post to the site. I cannot afford to associate with bigots and abusers. I also sadly can’t recommend the site anymore due to the open contempt displayed by a few users and moderators.
Audiophile: a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction ~ www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/audiophile
An audiophile (from Latin: audΔ«re, lit.β’to hear’ + Greek: ΟίλοΟ, romanized: philos, lit.β’loving’) is a person who is enthusiastic about high-fidelity sound reproduction. An audiophile seeks to achieve high sound quality in the audio reproduction of recorded music, typically in a quiet listening space in a room with good acoustics. ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audiophile
