Well, reduced sibilance is an ordinary and desirable thing. A better "audiophile absurdity" example would be $77,000 cables, freezing CDs to improve sound quality, using hospital-grade outlets, cryogenically frozen outlets (lol), the list goes on and on
- codeulike 1y agoI feel sorry for audiophiles because they have to work so much harder to get the same enjoyment of music that I get via my laptop speakers
- Mawr 1y agoThat's just the other extreme, which is not that much less silly. It's not unreasonable to spend 300$ on a good pair of headphones.
- virgil_disgr4ce 1y agoThe "audiophile" attitude is such that that "work" is enjoyment. It's a game, a hobby. I'm not defending the extremes of it, but it's not like these people are miserable, they enjoy doing it even if it rapidly becomes completely insane nonsense entirely detached from reality.
- BrandoElFollito 1y agoI've never thought it that way, thanks for mentioning it. I now wonder if I have any such hobbies. Probably not to the same extend as audiophiles, but some software-related stuff could come close.
