Why Do People Come To Computer Audiophile To Display Their Contempt For Audiophiles?

I... Face it folks, there are going to be precious few if any Road to Damascus moments here, where someone drops to his or her electronic knees and types "The scales have fallen from mine eyes!"  It doesn't work like that here, and hardly ever does anywhere.  ...

 

Veils, on the other hand, are removed here every day. It's a good thing the forum isn't about exotic dancers.

Anyone else notice a flurry of silly, OT, distracting, posts following one that might be a little unsettling to those 'Righteous' keepers of the objectivist, pseudo-scientific, flames ?

 

 

It's an acknowledgement of the "pseudo-scientific" principles in the post being commented on.

It would be nice to listen to some samples.

 

Google to the rescue. I searched for "jitter audio samples".

So I, along with my fellow manufacturers, will just go back to selling our snake oil products with a money-back guarantee while basking in the delusional praise of thousands of unsuspecting, tin-eared, gullible plebeians (most of whom really are educated professionals who've been pursuing audio for decades--but of course that doesn't count).

That's commendably honest of you. 

 

One small point: Unless those "educated professionals" happen to be educated and working in the audio field, they indeed don't count. For example, a highly trained physician is no less likely to be susceptible to "audio snake oil" claims than a truck driver.

I listen to veils. I especially like the sound of them being lifted.

 

I prefer to watch them being lifted.
