    Understood, but we know it is true sometimes. I don’t agree with the blanket statement that implies all audiophiles do this.

    When this (Make Us Stronger - YouTube) started playing at audio shows and showrooms, it really encapsulates the quote above well. It's a rubbish (IMO) song but has the frequency swings to test our your equipment decently enough.
