Certainly a writing that will knot up the panties of any old fart with limited scope on life, how dare they Minimize their Holy Grail. Everything has its limit, diminishing returns, placebo.., all lies Lol.
This line from the article kills me: "It's not uncommon for audiophiles with the means to spend literally thousands of dollars on equipment and room acoustics."
It must be a typo, should read "tens of thousands".
If you think you might be an audiophile, and your credit card is empty while your drawer is full of magical gold-plated cables and vacuum tube amplifiers, then there may be hope for you yet. Maybe you should start by having a friend help you run a small double-blind experiment using your setup and something less fancy. Can you reliably tell the difference? What if you just swapped out the cables? Can you tell the difference? How much of your perception is coming from you, and how much is coming out of your current speakers?
