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 😆

    Everyone likes to laugh at audiophile nonsense, until it’s their specific brand of audiophile nonsense.

    A sub like that would just devolve into very long arguments between defensive people about ‘not very crazy, maybe plausible but probably not worth it’ stuff.
