Audiophiles are funny, but this music fan conspiracy stuff filters down into a lot of regular people's lives, they're just the extreme version.
So many clueless people talking about how record labels and producers work, how you can't hear music the way it was intended because manufacturers don't think you can handle the truth...
It's pretty much the equivalent of your relatives who don't believe Qanon entirely or that lizard people from space rule the Earth, but do believe Fox News.

Audiophile/music fan conspiracies are just like any other conspiracies; there's a hidden truth that dark forces are trying to keep from you. Once you are exposed to that truth you will be enlightened and better than.
