A mentality that kicks really kicks into being when said pack is confronted with something new that requires potential reassessment of current thinking. It usually unfolds thusly: A thread is started with a link to a deluxe cable or doohickey seeking opinions on the same. The first responder bowls in with a “that looks suss to me”-type comment. The ensuing pile-on is as ugly as it is predictable. “Well, this ‘ere world globe suggests the world is not flat after all…but it’s nothing more than a toy – BURN HIM!” The product is either rubbished in theory or the (perceived) absence of proof from the manufacturer pointed to as proof of its snake-oil status. Our mob’s next step is to ensure ongoing physical distance between it and the product that “couldn’t possibly make a difference”. Actual listening would bring it too close for comfort. As such, solicitations to try it for oneself are shot down. “Listening? Pah! That’s all part and parcel of the scam!” comes the snorted retort. Such is the combined power of mutual cynicism that it is invariably self-reinforcing. New products that don’t align with our cynics’ a) existing world view or b) wallet depth must be squashed underfoot lest sales figures gain momentum and another industry scam is perpetrated.Ĭase closed – ironically – by closed minds. There are even digital audio extremists who would seek to correct anyone not sharing their particular point of view. Michael Lavorgna discusses this over at the always on-the-money AudioStream here. In 2015, the number one target for this kind of bully-boy treatment is the audiophile-grade Ethernet cable and to a lesser extent USB filters.

Proving that it counts open-minded skeptics amongst its members is Sydney Audio Club who last weekend undertook a whole lotta blind testing in the digital audio realm. Advance notice being Sydney specific, a post went up on DAR Australia last week.
