Not all of us are that "stupid"

Some of us have a good idea of what works in our systems or what doesn't after just one or two auditions. Some stores allow in-home auditions.

Those who are too "addicted and stupid" are those with audiophilia nervosa; they obsess over compartmentalized aspects of the sound of audio equipment while they lose sight of enjoying music. The cynical within the high-end audio industry feed off guys like them by encouraging them to go through a never-ending equipment purchasing path.

These days, cynicism in high-end audio is a two way street. Maybe the dealer who kicked out the guy who started this thread is cynical, but if I was the dealer, guys like him would make me cynical pretty quickly.
