One isolated example if you try to be hifi intrested you soon realise all hardware is 5 to 10 times more expensive than it should be due to uneccessary over engineering, and even more expensive due that normal people are scared away from this hoby/cult add the wast amount of even more bizzare rech that performs worse than a chinese wallmart dvd and sells for 10000$ so you are basically conned as soon as join the cult. So ex cult members feels like they been had :) And in general pseudoscience is more harmfull to society than many people credit, much more harmfull. and cult are very harmfull to you. Audiophilia is an obscure and benign example it may ruin a fammily economy and some relationships but not your health ( usually ). You divert resources to crap instead of suporting a usefull industry with your $ carbonfootprint for nothing anyone ? But as it is a subspeices of pseudoscience that are also an informal cult, it worries me . I'm in genral against pseudoscience it is a menace and penetrate society on all levels and do damage, llok at all the med quakery ! And I'm also aginst cults as they destoy people . No audiophilia is not as bad as scientology or anthroposophy or homeophaty, or my pet hate creationism or any of that ilk :) But it is the same kind of wideeyed uncritical flawed thinking at work . Human decision making and society would gain a lot of you just take 5 and think about things critically or sceptically for a while now and then. The dark ages is a prime example , they burned people for heressy, we can get there again really quick. Imo religion have robbed humanity of at least 1000 years of development and countless millions have suffered. How many suffers from HIV due the catholics ban on condoms you tell me that BS is not harmfull :) Bs perverts the human mind thats the problem. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
