Hi Guys,
I just started my experience with forum culture a few months ago. It's part of an aggressive research program designed to see where the average audiophile is at today regarding their audio gear based beliefs. It's actually been quite a shocking experience to say the least. One thing I've really noticed is, there's so many arguments that can never be settled over the forum anyways, simply because the party who's wrong, is too stubborn to acknowledge that this is the case. So rather than pointless arguments, why not come up with a solution instead?
So I've given this a lot of thought on how we can go about busting these myth's. I think the only way would be to find different individual's or groups who live in nearby cities, and have opposing views on what's right or what's wrong, and arrange a get together to actually demonstrate both ways of doing things in person. Then record the process, upload to youtube, and share the link on this thread.
In order for this to be an success, both parties must have enough confidence in their viewpoint to actually go though with the meeting, and openly share the result footage on this thread. So what I suggest for people to do who want a myth busted, is to propose a challenge on this thread, and see if there's any other members in the region who have an opposing view and would like to officially bust the opposite point of view. Once busted, if the busted myth is ever brought up again, anywhere on the forum, a link to this thread can simply be shared.
Just imagine how much better this industry would be if all of these crazy myths were dispelled!
Anyone with a strong opinion on a controversial matter, and refuses to even take part in a challenge, can officially be called a chicken
What does everyone think about this idea?
