Rockwell: audiophile term "just like a pedophile"

Hey guys. You should read this bigoted and ignorant caricature of audiophile stereotypes by camera reviewer Ken Rockwell. I have never seen anything like it. Just do a search under his name and the article "What is an Audiophile".

Coming from someone who spends his life detailing differences between camera lenses, is this also hypocritical?

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!

Jafant-A very disturbing post. There is nothing funny about children being abused. Comparing an audiophile with that form of mental illness is absurd!
