Latest Absolute Sound


I just got it yesterday and they are reviewing amps from 12k to 97k. I sat back and thought who is really buying this stuff. I know the average audiophile Isn't and the one's that actual have the money are always looking for deals via Audiogon. Is this just audio porn for the readers or are people actually buying this stuff.

The biggest limitation is that most people who work in audio for a long time all believe it is still 1980. Many are ugly and fat and never spend a lot of time doing research or tests.

When you do not understand music and sound you will never understand audio either. I asked many people in audio what the properties of sound are. And I asked what the most important part is what influences our emotion. I also asked how the human emotion works?

They all had no idea. So I asked to an audioshop owner which properties you will take out when you replace this cable. (which brand he sells for over 20 years)

He said; I have no idea. And when you replace it by the other cable you cannot tell me which properties you will bring in?

I have no idea he said.

So I said: this means you never have any idea why the sound and stage of an audio system is what you hear?

He said: I don’t know.

So I said: this means that you connect an amp, speakers, source and cables and you will listen to the endresult?

He said: yess.

But you have no idea which properties you take out and which you bring in when you change one part in your system?

He said: I don’t.

This proofs for 100% that all these people do audiogambling. This also proofs how limited most people are in their knowledge and insight.
Many people who also work in audio agreed based on this aspect. Beside this we all see and hear how limited most audio shows are. How much proof do you need?
