What do "audiophiles" use to judge equipment?

The hypothesis: "Audiophiles" are mostly techno-cats who listen with their eyes - they read reviews and look at spec sheets... END. That is my opinion and I'd like to hear from music lovers who do NOT look at the specs; who do not get their info from forums like this - where you cannot HEAR the music but you can READ about the music - well, maybe a few of you can read music, right? Are there any others who trust their own ears and go into a music store and BUY something without the psychological hand-holding of a forum or spec sheet?

Audiophiles judge by listening and double blind tests. Audiophools judge mostly by price.

"Search through my posts. Highly recommended, highly educational."
Blowing your own trumpet again Miller.
What a schmuk.
By the way, I recommend my posts as more educational than Miller's.
And much more varied too.

And Miller, please learn to spell 'Rolex', sic.  Your attempt is bo**ocks.

On my 1980 Submariner I can see each 1/5 second movement as discrete.  Perhaps Miller's eyes are poorer than he claims for his ears.

Can we hope that he will high dive wearing his Sub into into water 300mm deep which will be just sufficient to immerse his head.  300m (meters), you fool.

Further, a chronometer accurate to 1 second per minute would be useless.  It would be 24 minutes out by the end of the day.
My Sub currently gains 2.4 seconds per day.  Pretty good.

Very poor post man.



By the way, I choose equipment by listening, and the specs and performance tests, when there are any.
