The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?


This 15 minutes of youtube video by "cheapaudioman" say a lot and hide a lot...

He review low cost products ...

His analysis of audiophiles world here seems fair to me...

But nowhere in all his videos and in this one  he mention "acoustics" as the basis of audio hobby, the anker of any system  and gear piece  evaluation and satisfaction...

He  always talk about the gear... Probably acoustics for him as for most is only acoustics panels purchase...

My point is not that the audio world of audiophile is a scam with scammers...

Not at all.

It is ignorance  of what is acoustics basics that makes people victim of their own decisions  and a potential prey for honest or dishonest sellers..

Your mind is exhausted then the thread may be exhausted  too but it is not synonymus...

instead of sarcasms as the poster above for example a curious mind can ask why

what i claimed here is true ?

 

Perhaps you already know that and why and it felt correct for you to close the thread In one sentence...

I dont like sarcasms nor "innuendo" ...

I am direct and polite...

 Be silent or contribute...

 The thread will close by itself anyway...

 

The consequences for audio are evident : the perception of timbre is one of the main aspect for music and cannot be measured by few techs numbers but must be listened to by ears/brain. ( one of the reason is in psycho-acoustics linked to the way the ears lives and brain create sound perception in his own non linear time domain).

 

 
 

 

 

I didn't "close the thread." 

I gave my opinion that the thread seems exhausted -- it is going around in circles, Mahgister style. Just my opinion, but of course all one has to do is look at your posts here and in many other places to see you saying -- just my opinion -- the same things again and again. Just my opinion.

I'm allowed to express my opinion on a forum -- that is all I'm doing.

Maybe others here will continue to engage, read your posts, hear your message. I am exhausted and that is my opinion about the thread, too.

Just my opinion.

Just my opinion.

Anyone who believes power cords change sound, or anything beyond the cheapest 12 AWG OFC cables you can find change sound, are also scammers. Or not really audiophiles. Or both.
