You are absolutely right, saying "audiophile" which is not capable to hear any criticizm about his system….

Well, there is another side of the medal in it. The fact that they are not capable to bear criticism is bad but not harmful. The harm comes from the fact that they use faulty positive criticism in the situation where it should not be use. Each time when those Morons positive a positive feedback about an entire system or about a performance of a components they use that positive self-cheerleading that has no relation to the actual state of Sound from that component. Everything that they do sounds “fabulous” and the problem her is that that dilutes worth of any analysis. I have seen again and again how the Morons herring different installation at showrooms, at show or in private home provided growling feedback with spectacular adjectives but in private conversation they admitted that it was absolutely crappy sound. In those situations I can recognize the double harm: firth there is not educational value in throe experiences and second the stupid glorification of poor results crates an unavoidable feedback to own consciousness that dilutes the senses.

But, there is a point I cannot fully agree with you, saying "music and audio are absolutely not related entities and audio is a purely self-contained and encapsulated field".

I know what you are saying and I knew that it would be folks who might object. Still, knowing and feeling the objection you made and that other might do I insist that music and audio at certain level stop to be not related. It might be longer conversation and it properly should be abstracted into another thread if it goes further.
