I have absolutely no problem with whatever listening preferences people have, and whatever equipment choices they make. I do have an issue with people who try to rationalize and defend their choices with pseudoscience and false claims. > So it's no surprise that the click bait headline was instantly appealing > and left him feeling smug and self satisfied. My whole point was about how the audiophile press and websites are very quick to jump on (and feel very smug and self satisfied with) anything that supports their narrow world view (the erroneous conclusions of the research into audibility of "high res" formats is a good example), but ignore anything that goes against it. I guess you missed the meta-argument and went into "defensive ad-hominem attack" mode about the specific example. "To try to judge the real from the false will always be hard.
