Fake Audiophiles

The real audiophile is last one standing after debunking all the others in semi technical discussions and calling them dumb/ignorant/fake etc...

It is a pissing contest for vulnarable ego’s that scream "listen to me"

You are not wrong, we are all humans...I like to discuss myself too much... i plaid guilty for being passionnate abit too much...

But you forgot something in your rightful  claim:

Audio experience need to be WORKED and LEARNED...

it does not come by itself plugging anything in a wall...

Then i learned in audio forum and some motivated me...

Here like anywhere, there is the best and the worst...

The greatest sin will be to throw the baby with the bath muddied waters...

Dont commit this sin by impatience...

Great post!

I am amazed to learn that i am one of the best audiophile with my 500 bucks killer system... 😁😊

Heavily modified and acoustically, mechanically and electrically controlled...

Any way i am less wise than you...You are right on all counts...

My best to you....

You know, it’s super easy to be exclusionary. One camp might argue there’s a $$$ associated with the entry point. Another might argue if you aren’t building anything you aren’t an audiophile, you are just a consumer.

Personally I no longer care to distinguish who I interact with along these lines, but if you ask me whose opinions I take seriously they share these traits:

• Not blinded by price tags either way
• Helps others find gear that meets their stated needs
• Encourages useful comparisons between gear
• Understands that we all come at this hobby for different reasons and goals and joy

But if you ask me who the absolute best audiophile is, it's the one who builds a killer sounding system for half the price of everyone else. 😁
