Do you think audiophiles are the most gullible hobbyists


They seem to fall for anything. I have had other hobbies before and people seem to be more sensible. What is it about Audiophiles that makes them so gullible?

One responder mentioned "Snake Oil" long ago in the old west there was this item sold and people bought it because it worked! It was mineral water and hot pepper extract it helped as a pain killer just as hot peppers do today, the only thing false was the name, there was no snake related product in it. Because of the deceptive advertising it acquired the bad name.
Trust your own ears, does the audio product sound better... or just different?
In terms of very popular long standing audio products, millions of audiophiles couldn't be wrong.
