Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio


The post linked below should be a mandatory reading for all those audiophiles who spend obscene amounts of money on wires. Can such audiophiles handle the truth?

Thank you for starting a thread on room acoustics. I believe there is lot of ambiguity in this area and not enough resources to fully understand the complexities of taming and treating the room imperfections. 

I keep an open mind in this crazy hobby and not afraid to try different things to better my experience of enjoying music. And that’s all matters to me at the end of the day! 
One can't help wondering, hmmmm, are most naysayers, tweakaphobes, skeptics and science lovers/protectors of the realm actually engineers and scientists? Or are they primarily English and History majors, or perhaps audio engineers? 

When it comes to protecting the realm, one wonders who might lead the charge for assimilation, if the Borg were on their way here, and who would resist? : )

Of course, one group would want this blindly accomplished and the real irony, which I know you will appreciate, is that it would be the ultimate tweak. : )
Can somebody explain how taping rocks to your cables makes you enjoy music more? Or how about gluing spots to your wall? Or placing bottles or bowls around the room? I'm the screwed up one because I don't buy any lie some fool sells me? I don't give myself to delusional thinking? I'm the troll because I don't give audio Scientology credit? I don't think so! The kind of thinking that drives this snake oil industry is the same thinking that led people to think the Earth was the center of the universe and that it was flat. If it was up to these clowns we'd be bleeding people to cure them, drinking radium, and be using a medical system based on the concept of humors. That's how stupid their snake oil is. If these folks bought into these nutty ideas in any other field society would have them committed or call them cult members.
