I, I’m French and we have a made up word « idiophile » a mix of idiot and audiophile on a huge forum to call people who believe in non science related audiophile bulls*** like changing power supply or cables to have a better sound or buying 300K€ audio streamers etc

Is there a similar word in English ? “Audiofool “ I’m guessing. Is there a sub Reddit dedicated to this particular subject ?

Thanks 😆

    The people who buy that shit also bought $25,000 Compaq Presarios from boutique electronics stores in the 1990s and insist it’s better than a modern computer because it has warm, clean, punchy computing and a 56k modem dial-up tone that’s high resolution.

    It takes 6 hours for them to load a single Reddit post so we’re mostly free to tee off on them here uninterrupted.
