Audiophilia nervosa can be treated

Knowledge is the remedy. Read textbooks and/or technical/scientific papers about audio-related issues in physics, acoustics, room acoustics, psychoacoustics, musical instrument acoustics, sensory evaluation and other disciplines I don't think of at the moment.

Having acquired that knowledge, the next time a "designer who has single-handedly unearthed new laws of physics" wants to tell you that tiny metal bowls operate by "conversion of the room's low frequencies into high frequencies to cancel unwanted resonances", you will say, well, of course, frequency transformation, that's the trick, could have guessed it myself, now please leave me alone, I've got better things to do than listening to a quack telling fairy tales.
