Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile"

Well put Doug.

One other evidence that reviewer and audiophile are very often 2 different meanings.
Reviewer is one working as professional writer and writes whatever he/she's supposed to write(that's how reviews work). At the same time Mr. Rockwell proves this fact through his OP mentioned article that he was/is reviewing audio components to make living rather than truthfully describing them. Anyone can do same.
For me speaker or hook-up cables for home audio priced several hundreds to tens of thousands$ and many other tweaks would be absurd, meaningless and unFreal as to any other non-audiophile like KR. At the same time if offered some hefty pocket cash for writing story onto the specific magazine, than why not(would probably keep my mouth shut instead of confronting audiophile community and continue to slurp out of my bread bowl)?
Any professional writer can 'digest' audiophile specific terms onto his/her vocabulary and blast these onto the magazine surface. No need to be audiophile at all all.

It is a good for a laugh or 2. But, ask yourselves, 'are the two terms in question really that far removed'? I believe KR
was touching on (no pun) the quest or thrill of the chase for some of us audiophiles. Happy Listening!

Obvious typo; should be "A lot of headphones..."

One can't help wondering where he stands on nude cantilevers and female connectors.
