Audiophiles subtly and cheekily blown the fuck out. >The

As a pretty established audio engineer, it baffles me that those fuckers buy 'better' equipment to reproduce the music than it was originally even recorded with. Especially when it comes to one-point classical recordings.

It's a major delusion. The only way I can explain it is:

>hmm, i need something to feel superior and elitist about
>let's become an audiophile

Of course that doesn't fully explain how they can delude themselves and ignore all the scientific proof that they're experiencing placebo effects. Maybe they do realize that, but they're too far into it and admitting it would be an embarrassment.
