General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

What is it about audiophiles and meters and handles?

I don't get meters. To me, they seem like an unwanted distraction while listening. Their information value is dubious. They require extra circuitry which can only degrade the purity of the audio signal path. And they add cost.

Another thing I don't get is handles. Does anybody even try to lift high end audio components by the handles? I'm the kind of person who prefers a clean look, but even if I liked a bit of decoration why handles?
