Is audiophile bullshit cheating?
(lemmy.world)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
I used to work in audio, some of these superstition-level solutions are hilarious. I remember a site that sold little baggies of rocks that you hung from your IEC cables at the wall outlet, and I think they were almost $100 before shipping (7 or 8 years ago).
One thing I do like from the audiophile world though: elecrostat speakers. They're just neat.
And magnepans! Not electrostatic, they are dipole, but they sound like magic. Ive yet to not impress people with them
