I is a long and perpetual vision of mine that 99.99999% of indivisibles why do audio are Morons, at least in the subjects of audio. I have no problem to express this vision and I constantly find more and more evidences to back up this vision of my. Pretty much each time when I see the individuals who violently disagree with my assessment of the dominating Audio-Moronity then those individuals are the best illustration of the “99.99 % Rule”….

However, the most disgusting and the most revolting cretins among audio people are the freaks who have managed to bult large and expansive installations. I’m not talking about the people who bult expansive system but about the Morons who bult expensive systems. Those guys who have bult thier playback with the price tag of $150K-$300K feel that they “own the audio hobby”. They feel that they accomplished something that put them above the ordinary level of audio Moronity. They patronizingly and superbly ignorantly are pontificating about audio using borrowed from somebody else’s phrases and definitions. They call the heads of the manufactures house by their first name despite that the heads despise them although love to have them as buyers. They feel that any audio person ultimately wish to become them and they present thier installation as the superb audio chic. They own the shiniest and the newest names that audio propaganda has brought to thier attention and they are always the sources of the newsiest audio news.

The really of the facts about those people usually is very far fetched from the image that they bult up within their own awareness. Everything stars (and ends) with the actually meeting of those super-audio people. I means, not the reading thier false-intelligence doodles on Internet but actually meet the live person and try to assess tangibly the level of complexity (audio-wise) that the person is capable to handle. If you do so then in 99.99999% the “giant of audio wisdom of his own mind” will be collapsing like a gas balloon. In most of the cases the person will not even understand what you are trying to say or will be expressing the audio-objective of an adolescent Neanderthals. When you hear thier playback the result will be a direct derivations form thier audio thinking: the fashionably-advertised sound shaped along the promoted brand manes.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m very much NOT against the large and expansive installations. I am against the installations where the expanse and an artificial based-on-nothing reputation of the blown up products become THE ONLY one motivations that drive an individual.

So, when you see a Moron with his shiny pictures of his $200K playback who trying to express his Audiogonisms then be prepare to educate your expectations. It is VERY frequently (99.9999%) there is no actual results, knowledge, experience or sense behind those people and their Audio accomplishments and all that they possess is juts a comfortably numb patronizing arrogance.
