I think that your average, golden-eared audiophile is just like the guy who spends vast sums on wine because he can taste a difference. Both, frequently the same folks, have an innate desire to be better than the great, unwashed masses. Having golden ears is the perfect way to be better than others because no one can disprove your claims. Salesmen keep reinforcing the belief that they are a unique and uniquely deserving species. Statistics about human behavior include everyone, but since everyone includes the majority of insensitive, average Joes, the statistics mainly apply to them and less so to audiophiles. Therefore, the audiophile is NOT subject to the common effects of suggestion, physiological limitations on hearing acuity, etc. TD -- tyler_durden ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tyler_durden's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2701 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=36503 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
