It is a tragi-comedy ... Video describing exactly the ignorance of many audiophiles in a race to upgrade WITHOUT studying and experimenting with a chosen system the principle and parameters of acoustics . Most audiophile think that acoustics with an (s) refer to room acoustic, more than that in my experience with audiogon , most think that room acoustic is solved if we buy costly panels ... And deluded audiophiles laughted at me if i created some efficient tweaks at low cost... Some are offended if i speak because they argued i bash high end design . I do not i bash ignorance of those who purchase anything without studying how to install and use it at optimal level BEFORE upgrading again... thanks to the OP for this very well done video... 😊
"The more money you spend on a system the better it sound" 😉 No, acoustics rule audio, not price tags. |
I tried because i am not the most funny dude on audiogon ... 😊 And it is an easy target which i am a part of being myself an audiophile of the "wise" or "fool" kind ( money is not enough we must study and experiment) ...
My wife remember 20 years ago my anger when she clean my headphones using his vacuum cleaner on the cup sucking all with it ... It start my journey on search of the best headphone... None of my modified 9 headphones succeed then with speakers ... None of them succeed...Till i study acoustics and begun without knowing it my few years full time inquisitive journey in acoustics concepts and experiments... This succeed ..

I always looked for the cartoons in audio magazines, and for cartoons by George Booth in the New Yorker this collection is priceless think good thoughts about a pussycat let's not forget artist al hirschfeld |
Y'know....it's pretty easy, but I'm flush with popcorn when there's 'flock flames' over what many would think absolutely not sane.....esp. for the 'deep end' of the pool. ...one almost expects bouncers........but I've my own version of a sonic sscrewdriverr...... Quick, here's the Cure C'ya...and do that. ;) 😏 |
It was a big hurdle, but I finally got the wife's okay to overcome the financial threshold and spend $7M on the cable. Sadly, I crashed and burned on the esthetics. Also, I have to admit that I was a bit skeptical on YouTube audio comparisons. This one was definitely convincing. I learned something today.

The rest of the cartoons are there enjoy !: https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/194217/cartoons-related-to-the-foibles-of-audiophiles |
I appreciate the self deprecating humor. The video's author is not only poking fun at manufacturers and wealthy consumers, but to a certain degree, the youtube influencer (like himself) who peddle the stuff. It's true across the audiophile industry that many manufacturers justify the MSRP charged by making the component larger and visually impressive… this, to a level of absurdity. I get the semiotics at play, but for me, their approach achieves the opposite. |
@mahgister Excellent cartoons! |
@mahgister You're KILLIN' me! Some of those're pretty hilarious. Thanks for the laugh my friend. |
