It is absolutely essential that audiophile words do not refer to anything real in the sense of being identifiable and quantifiable by measurement. If they did then people would check and what is going on would be revealed for what it is. If you go back to the very first audiophile/subjective reviews in the 70s where the reviewers were still learning how to write "subjective" reviews there was a tendency to make one or two statements that could be used to check the honesty of the review. For example, about the last thing I read before dropping all interest in home audio for 30 years was an early "subjective" review of the LP12 in which the reviewer claimed that this magical record player enabled him to hear previously unheard instruments but then made the major mistake of naming the track and the instrument. I didn't have the record but my mother did and playing it on her modest Pye music centre the named instrument was straightforward to identify.
Now I don't trust my recollection and would like to see a copy of that review. The record I am fairly sure was by Roberta Flack, no idea of the track and the instrument I think was stringed. I also seem to recall something about mishandling records by scattering them unsleeved over the floor not making a difference to the magical abilities of the record player. It is possible this was in a different review though because at the time there was a marketing push to turn the LP12 into a magical record player rather than the decent but not particularly notable one that it had been for the previous few years. Is this ringing any bells with anyone?
