The empirical audiophile

11 or is it 10 questions OCD hi-fi guy asked:

SkyFi AUDIO was the one that first asked questions

Question number one: Have you ever lied what you paid about hi-fi because it was too expensive, and you were embarrassed to tell the truth?
Question number two: What was the first product you bought off a rave review and found out that it was not how they described it in sound quality, and it did not deliver. What a journalist claimed it would? Which product? JBL speakers’ example: Skunkie review.
Question three: Do you remember the time when you realize there was a distinction between paid AUDIO journalist and actual audiophiles? Because if you haven’t, it’s time to.
Question four: How many years of online research reading reviews, trying audio gear has it taking you to consider that you still may not know shit about system building? Do you know what your phase knob on your subwoofer is for?
Question number five: Have you ever been prouder of your discount than you were about the actual results you get from the gear brought?
Question number six: How many years have you been buying selling, buying selling, to still find out that you don't have audio Nirvana? 20-30 years and still are not there yet? The industry is designed so you keep buying and selling. It’s called the “AUDIO Journey.”
Question number seven: At the last audio show you attended; what percentage of the rooms sounded like they were worth what they cost in dollars? In other words, is the system worth the amount of money that it cost to make it? You go to AUDIO shows to educate yourself not to listen to what other people tell you what you should be hearing.
Question number eight: Do you ever hide your audio neuroses by saying” you’re into music”.
Question number nine: What piece of ultra hi-fi elite audio world class level gear did you buy at half price that sucks ass? Example: It was it was it $50,000 piece and you thought you were so smart, and you were going to get such a good deal paying half price for it and you paid 25- grand, and it still completely sucked.
Question number 10: If you could cure your audiophile OCD, if you could cover it with a hi-fi antidote that fulfill you 100% would you stop at all. Are, or you addicted to chasing your tail?
