That can be said about a lot of things though..

But yea, Unfortunately in audio it is really easy to buy snake oil, for a lot of money. Just have to be knowledgeable about what you're doing.


beats are best?

Nuances eh?

Like being bent over by some company who sells those parts that cost maybe a 100 bucks for thousands for absolutely no discernible difference.


i think you don't appreciate the nuances of being an audiophile

Was it you who also said that there is no difference between 200$ and 2000$ av receivers? Sure not.

I think the problem here is that the majority of you guys are amd type people while the hobby of being an audiophile is really best left to the Intel type people

From now on any amd fanboy should refrain from posting here

Yeah. He likes to irritate everyone on this forum by repeating biased remarks that have no actual truth behind them in hopes of insighting another flame war.

I believe jsp classifies this as encouraging others to harass.

i don't want to start a flame war

it's just that when i first began traversing this forum kids were so amd biased and narrow minded in their bias that it was a little bit frustrating

so now i have taken it upon myself to become the anti-AMD hero CHD deserves, but not the one it needs.

edit: additionally, I would say my analogy is obviously stereotypical, but as with every stereotype..it is based upon some empirical evidence

Not long ago Vittu and I were arguing with some one here about AV receivers / amplifiers. He was one of those who claimed a there was NO difference between a $20 junk yard amp and say, a $100,000 top of the line amp. So according to him you were an idiot for buying a $1000 amp for instance... :bonk:
