WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES TRY TO TELL OTHERS WHAT THEY CAN OR CAN’T HEAR IN A SYSTEM?
I ask the question. Because I have had several discussions on Audiogon where certain posters will try to tell another person what they can or can’t hear in a system. Most of the time never hearing or having experiences either the piece of equipment, cables etc. It is usually against those that spend money on more expensive equipment and cabling. Why is this so prevalent.

A recipe is a scientific thing and so is apprenticeship (in person with another person); so is daily trial and error. None of it is guesswork, which seems to be what you're suggesting the grandmother does. Just because there aren't formal measurements or numbers doesn't mean there isn't systematic attention paid to quantities, ratios, timing, and technique. A lot of the audio suggestions flying around lack any of those things with any systematicity. And finally, acoustics and hearing are fairly precise things. It's harder to get the image and tonality of a singer correct to the ear than make a lasagna taste decent. |
AUDIOPHILE…..Supposition :- If you imagine that you are a good car driver, does it make (in your mind) your car more special too? If you have a superior hi-fi system, does it make you (in your mind) any more harmonised with music? Bad drivers who love their cars, keep them well maintained and shiny will still be bad drivers….. Some ‘audiophiles’ love their system more than anything else, just have to boast about their (imaginary) friend.
The question is……why do some people want to be labeled audiophiles and blast it out like a big multi-note car horn? l have a high-end system! And all that! Yawn! |
