Audiophiles & Snake Oil!

Well worth a listen
(Quote)
"Audiophiles often link all kinds of measurements, like frequency response, signal to noise and distortion of various kinds to the closest to live music. Also working principles like class A, linear power supply, a given component like a DAC chip or silver cables (or anything but silver cables) are seen as โ€˜ultimate choicesโ€™. Have I got bad news for you."

Poor Hans just learning about the circle of confusion. Floyd Toole wrote about it some 20 years ago?ย

I love the first comment to this video where the guy who used to work at Audio Note calls the measurement freaks "scope jockeys".
Can I borrow that?

Sure. But the preferred term is measurebator.
