Re: What is it about human nature that makes people rubbish some things in audio & elsewhere?

We read in posts here and on other boards statement like ;

* DVD-A (or SACD - take your choice) is faulty and not as good as SACD (or DVD-A)

* The sound from CDs is crappy compared to vinyl

* Who would sanely mess around cleaning LPs, adjusting cartridges, junping up & down ever 20 or so minutes, .....

* Tube sound is the only realistic sound

* Home Theatre is rubbish & its surround sound only good for helicopter noises in the room

My favorites are:

* Even my daughter's boombox sounds better than anything Bose makes...

* It's all in your head- There are no sonic differences in wire...

* Two-channel audio will die- It behooves you to go multi-channel...

* Tubes?? You're living in the past...

* You spent a grand for that power cord?? Oh brother...

* Do you have PROOF to back up your claim??? If you don't, you're FOS!!!

* DEALER X JUST <insert rip-off story or customer service nightmare here, in all caps>

* Read the <insert technical document here> and quit posting misinformation!!
