The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
I just read in another thread a poster saying he know how to assemble a system without the need of reviewers opinion. I had no problem with that but i suppose his method is not sniffing the gear but hearing a piece buying it and connecting it. Jo...

The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
I’ll put my point more positively: Sometimes we benefit from reviewers who translate their experience into tools, techniques, and vocabulary which can help someone who also plans to learn and then listen and experiment for themselves. We are i... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
But the idea that we don’t benefit from reviewers is not something I agree with.   I never said that we dont benefit from reviewer... Who will listen to 400 amplifiers to advise us ? If not Jay... Who will listen to low cost many pre-amp to ... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
Audiophile market is based on mass ignorance about audio and acoustics, it is not just about good or bad gear design, good or bad pricing... Be it cheapaudioman selling low cost products or Jay selling very high end products, they are legitimate... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
Now about acoustics...I don’t use a single thing. I treat the room by stuffing it with all sorts of different fabrics/upholstery/furnishings etc.... It sounds good to me, and I can care less if it does not to someone else.   Perfect for you as... 
The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
What may be true to a certain degree for 20$ cable versus 10,000 dollars cable in an 100,000 bucks system, cannot be applied for a low cost dac versus a very costlier one in the same 100,000 bucks system because the way we evaluate a piece of gea... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
How do you get to the bottom of it with cheapaudiomen such as Randy, Mahgister, etc? I picked Randy not because i approve all of what he said... I could have pick Jay video reviewing 400 high end top amplifiers in a room empty of any acoustics... 
The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype
---No dac sound the same as others dac... --- No dac sound the same with different gear coupling --- There is no dac scam,only ignorance about the threefold way to embed rightfully any system in his working dimensions (mechanical,electrical,acou... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
Thanks for your well articulated explanation... I think your judgment about his seller strategy is right. My intention was not mocking him or his strategy choices though but just using his video as a typical reviewer stance forgetting the essent... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
I see what Mahgister was implying. The reviewer is selectively ignorant - like the dog who did not bark in the night?? Or if that isn’t what you mean, it is what I mean.   You got it.... Cheapaudioman is a reviewer and like all reviewer they ... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
I just think he’s ignorant. I think audioman is ignorant and it is why i posted this video... But i think all of those attacking his character are as ignorant as he is and miss completely my point about acoustics as most audiophiles and review... 
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
Good points!    Thanks for your opinion.    The others seems more busy  mocking the character than about thinking...    I will only add that what i means by acoustics knowledge is not just standard room acoustic but more large ... I just bou... 
Okay, that's it -- I'm done (unless I win the lottery)
I am in sonic nirvana for the price i paid and the job i did.... Keep your sarcasm...  
The Insane World of High End Audio! Is it All a Scam?
It seems most people dont get my point about this video and "the dog who did not bark"......   For example the essential is not perceiving a difference in sound in "the same room", anybody can do this at least most... Acoustics is the art of pa...
