Very nice response and one I would never have written. My preferred method being a heavy dose of sarcasm. That being said I do understand to some degree why so many audiophiles have such a strong beliefs - their beliefs are reinforced by the high end audio world - a very well coordinated system of manufacturers, marketing and advertising departments, publications, web sites and "experts". Add to this the fact that for the most part high end audio products often sound much better than mass market audio products. Also in the mix is the fact that most high end audio systems feature both the good and bad parts of the audiophile belief system. What I mean is that a typical audiophile system might contain a very well made DAC, a very good pre-amp, a great power amp along with first rate pair of properly positioned speakers all connected with audiophile cables and wires and supplied via some fancy audiophile power conditioner, all set up with great care. What is rarely seen is the same basic system without the audiophile trappings. What many audiophiles fail to do is take the time to understand what is good and what is bad, like taking away the power conditioner and the fancy wires and cables and seeing if the system sounds worse. But that will never happen since all the audiophile "experts" state loud and clear that is just not permitted.
