Mostly audio reviews. And spinning boxes.

Video Description

It's been months now since I published my audiophile myths video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaoVlriOa74), but none of the commenters that insist that I'm deaf have passed a double-blind test to prove it. So what makes some audiophiles so confident they hear things they can't prove? I've found 8 ways audiophiles fool ourselves. And yes, I'm including myself.
