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

The "total joke" is any audiophile who says all components sound different ...

... but then when the brand name is hidden and two components being compared are played at the same SPL, many electronics and all wires compared so far do not have audible differences!

Differences are heard among speakers, cartridges, some electronics and recording quality certainly varies a lot ... but differences are often not heard among electronics (except SPL) and have never been heard among wires (except SPL).

The "total joke" is that audiophiles who "believe in their ears" dismiss all other audiophiles who do objective experiments and find their hearing ability was not as great as they had believed.

That's the mark of a cult or religion -- beliefs are strong enough to ignore reality, science, objective test results ... and just plain common sense. Of course that doesn't make the beliefs right.

When audiophiles compare a component with itself, 50% to 75% still claim they hear differences?
