Making fun of audiophiles is about as close to “beating the dead horse” as I can think of. If you think this is funny or interesting; reflect. Perhaps, if talking about this, your life is as just about as uninteresting as an audiophiles? For what it’s worth, I am not an audiophile- I just can’t believe slashdot/hackernews has been beating this dead horse for coming on 20 years!
- TulliusCicero 5y agoWell, there are still audiophiles who believe in ridiculous nonsense, so I don't see the harm. I'm far from obsessed with audiophiles, but it is pretty funny when it comes up. Same as people who believe in other forms of nonsense, like flat earthers and what have you.
- tjr225 5y agoIf you want to bother yourself with it go for it, seems like a waste of time to me. My point is that if you feel clever, you’re not!
- TulliusCicero 5y agoCleverer than an audiophile, which admittedly is not a high bar, same as other nonsense that people believe in.
- tjr225 5y agoWell, at least you’re as clever as an audiophile.
- lokedhs 5y agoI think the remarkable thing in this case is that the vendor is Sony, not some off-brand vendor trying to sell their stuff to audiophiles. Then again, a dedicated music player isn't something most people would want, so perhaps only audiophiles would be interested in them at all? And if you want to sell to them, you need to use marketing language that they understand.
