Comment on Is audiophile bullshit cheating?

The people actually making the music: I mastered this album with the $100 audio technica headphones and checked if it sounded good in my car

Self proclaimed audiophiles listening to that same music: for about twenty thousand dollars you can get a basic setup, sure. But to really understand the artist’s intention you need at least a hundred grand

Literally.

And for those songs with too much dynamic range for a car, well, that’s what the volume knob is for!

Songs are also mixed and mastered using equipment (headphones or monitors) with the flatest reponse as possible. You don’t need super expensive gear to hear a song was meant to be heard.

audiophile is just a synonym for a person who hates bass

  What’s someone who doesn’t hate bass, they just hate your bass?

  As an audiophile, this alt-j tune has great bass on a good system. (And when not played from YouTube) www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBDunSOoXNo
