How many audiophiles do you need to change a lightbulb?


Only one.

But ten to discuss whether you need a 60W or a 100W bulb.

Ten more to discuss the relative merits of screw-in vs. bayonet fixture.

Ten more to discuss the relative merits of LED and halogen.

Ten more...…………………..

@highfi , "All of us deserve to be screwed!"

But not until we've suffered months of meticulously agonising painstaking research and analysis (before, some might say, making the totally wrong decision). 

No short cuts to true audiophilia are allowed. We have to earn our stripes the hard way.


None. As a subjectivist, the audiophile is convinced the old light bulb (which is better anyway than the new ones) is still lit, and discounts any measurements to the contrary.   He convinces several of his audiophile friends to come over and they all enjoy "the light," describing the experience on Internet forums and blogs, using terms usually reserved for food or sex.
I know what you’re thinking, “A light bulb is not in the audio path.” Am I right?
