Audiophiles: This is why people hate you.

This review is so full of crap you can almost smell it oozing out of the pictures:

http://www.sixmoons.com/audioreviews/sra/craz.html

I often described a smoothing extension of the upper treble alongside a woody midrange sweetness. Many musicologists however describe the tonality of Arthur Grumiaux as crisp and light without self-indulgent romanticism.

If that wasn't **** enough for ya:

The cello's generous sonic flood is expansively rich and resonant even during fortissimo passages from the piano. The spontaneity of rhythmic piano attacks in the low registers are presented with full clarity without causing ear/brain fatigue over a long listening session. The communications between cello and piano are subtle at times but mostly expressive. Prior to the Craz, the subtle, extremely small micro details in the dynamics were absent. The delivery of eloquence, tenderness and lyricism from the cello now constantly evokes awe.

And:

DFD can easily imbue whatever shading he desires from his sonic palette between medium loud and medium soft. Before the Craz arrived, most of the steps/shades were missing and the delivery in his low register over-dominated the upper octaves. Hence I was not able to discern the full artistic differences between Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau and Hermann Prey until now.

Wahahahaha. I read 6 moons all the time like my kids watch cartoons for a laugh. Golden ear fuktards crack me up to no end.

I beleive in well built equipment, lets you sleep easy at night. I belive in art and artistic ability when building equipment. But 99.99% of the spew they talk about and total BS about how this causes this sound and that causes this sound... *LOL* Freaking insane and retarded. If that was the case, I could speed up my computer with gold plated cables, make it print faster by putting it on spikes and make the sound card sound better by tilting it 2 degree's up. **** people and idiots make me laugh.

So he got all that just from changing out his equipment rack? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rotflol.gif.b453361716769b8110ddefc85ff03cd2.gif

musicologists

That's gotta be the best.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

There are 3 types of Audiophiles, The Practicalist, The Realist, The Extremist.

The practicalist who believes in some audiophile insanities but doesn't go extremely into the realm of the world of the nutsos.

The realist, who doesn't believe in anything that can't be proved mathematically or comparison.

And the Extremist who is the nut jobs like this.

This guy should really just kill himself. A ****ing rack? Give me a ****ing break. Is that why the RECORDING ENGINEERS used a simple rack for all their equipment? Christ.

Very true, I'd classify myself as the realist, especially with being an engineer and a scientist, if it can't me measured or mathematically proven its all BS and placebo at best.

It really isn't well written. The author just keeps ****ing adding adjectives and big words. And I like the bit at the end, where owners of this god send of rack can converse and share.

Metal fatigue? I guess the engineers behind the hardware didn't take that into consideration either //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
