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 😆

    And another thing, that $90 “bit perfect” Wiim transport only doesn’t sound just as good as a $4k streamer. I wish it did but it don’t. “But it’s just a digital signal” Yeah…a worse one 😂 I’m not knocking the WiiM, it’s a great product. I have one and I’ve tried about 15 other models/brands. Majority of budget models sound exactly the same…but there is obvious differences as you move up the ladder. You could just say it’s all in my head…and I’d say try some other transports in a blind test.

    Audiofools…jealous angry bunch of tucks. How do you know if those cable lifters didn’t make a difference?? Did you try them??I’d love to see some pics of someone using cable lifters with their stock cables that came with their $300 amp😂 Then they would say how much open the sound was…how the soundstage went deeper. I will say that the audio industry has some of the craziest most expensive stuff available. So much BS involved. I’m absolutely amazed at prices of things like cables, conditioners,etc,etc. kinda blows my mind
