If you check out various forums in the audiophile community, especially ones dealing with a particular manufacturer, there usually is a small group of regular posters that will brook no criticism of their precious speaker, amp. or whatever. Sometimes it makes you doubt their objectivity or perhaps they are just in a state of infatuation. Thus such terms as fanboy or groupie seem warranted. It is just a shorthanded way of describing this phenomena.
