5 Dumb Things Audiophiles Believes.

@au_lait you are straight to the point, thank you. Critical listening is something that can and should be trained, and no we are not all made equal. Just like I was never able to shoot in a ball or catch one, and it would take me hundreds of hours of training to spare me the embarrassment. Good thing I don't sport.

@au_lait you are right, we shouldn't shame anyone's physical appearance, yet I tend to associate certain "looks" with certain (political, medical, religious, or audio-related) ideas and sadly I'm most often not very far off. 

I like the Tiger Woods analogy.

Regarding the wires, the sample set of individuals exposed to or owning them remains relatively small, and is skewed heavily toward narcissisists with large egos, big mouths, and a larger pot of money. How many of us can afford or would even choose to invest thousands of dollars in wires to test these claims? I'm all in on hearing the contrarian voice., and appearance for that matter. 

It's ironic that some Golden Eyes in the community are put off by this fellow's dress.

He's definitely passionate about audiophile and his experiences. I have to agree with his points on making sure your system is set-up correctly and the main point it's a system! Equipment, placement, room acoustics, type of music, media used. It all affects the output. I too can't tell the difference between a $10,000 set of speaker cables and my monster cables nor an expensive power cord from the one the gear came with.

Its all about the # of eyes that watch his video.  This video has gone viral.  He has done just what he set out to do.  Find a controversial subject and make an entertaining video on it.  I watched it a few days after it came out, turned off after less than an min..  sorry my view counts towards his totals.
