...more than 50 years.The ignorant and uninformed are claiming audio products are snake oil.
Based on their 'understanding' of engineering and science.

Not "more than 50 years." It only seems that long. IIRC, Stereophile started in the early 60s and TAS came along quite a bit later.

Sounded like you were commenting on JC's post. In any event, we've beaten this one long enough.
45 years? Is that OK?
...is that over 45 years, or 50 years, or 450 years, the vast majority of what looks like snake oil has, in fact, proven to BE snake oil. Some folks only remember the rare exceptions. Those rare exceptions then serve as fodder to support people's belief in the latest snake-oil fad. And even many of those "exceptions" remain suspect.Since Jesus, how many people have claimed to be Jesus? How many of them actually WERE? How can you tell?
Who expects precision here anyway, although I'd personally hate to lose more than 5 years at this point. :-)
