Audiophilia is some beautiful intersection of cargo-cult woo and "more money than common sense"

The best thing about audiophiles is that pretty much everything they claim to love is actually the result of signal degradation and other bad things.

Anybody who spends thousands and thousands of dollars on some insane purist audiophile setup and then goes and tells you that the best format for music is rubbing an old needle against some pits on an old piece of wax is actually crazy.

I wonder what would happen if you tried out this quiz using one of those $100,000+ setups?
