The Ten Biggest Lies in Audio

[psychotropic]

I don't know how many of you have seen this, but Peter Aczel and "The Audio Critic" has a bit of a cult following among audiophiles, and he writes in an engaging way. One of the collector-grade back issues of the Audio Critic is this one:

In the cover story, it sets out what Aczel considers are the 10 biggest lies in the audio industry, which are:

1. The Cable Lie
2. The Vacuum Tube Lie
3. The anti-digital Lie
4. The Listening-test Lie
5. The Feedback Lie
6. The Burn-In Lie
7. The Biwiring Lie
8. The Power Conditioner Lie
9. The CD Treatment Lie
10. The Golden Ear Lie

Many of these will be controversial I am sure among members of this forum, but it would be interesting to see everyone's views. I know it's not convenient clicking on and downloading a PDF, but trust me, this one is worth it.

It is too late man!!! Everybody knows it like 'Ramyana - Mahabharata' or 'Jack and Jill- Baba black ship ' . FYI There is one thread on very same topic active till ysterday. It is waste of time.

IMHO Peter Aczel is deaf.
