I don't ever recall having a vastly different opinion on audio earlier in life relative to today, at least since I discovered high-end audio in around the year 1982...... (Prior to 1982, I sought anything that measured as good as possible..... From mainly Stereo Review reviews.) Aside from initially thinking that CD playback was hopelessly inadequate as a high-end music source (prior to around 1992)...... And maybe horn speakers, I once had disdain for them...... (I once had disdain for classical composer Anton Bruckner, before developing an understanding of his music.)
I've been here since 2001 (20 years?!?!), maybe someone can find several things about my thinking or practices that conflicted over time......
I once mistook Jose Feliciano's cover of the Doors' "Light My Fire" for Johnny Mathis singing it..... Which I'd call the most embarrassing thing I've posted on this website. Either that or my initial rave review of the Ack Dack DAC....... Or my liking to Renee Olstead and Michael Buble, prior to realizing they were made by Auto-Tune.![]()
