Audiophilia is a mental disorder, similar to other diseases such as [distrohopping](distrohopping.md) and chronic [ricing](rice.md), that makes one scared of low or normal quality audio. Audiophiles are scared of lossy [compression](compression.md) and so harm society by wasting storage space. Audiophilia, similarly to e.g. the business with [mechanical keyboards](mechanical_keyboard.md), is the [astrology](astrology.md) of technology, it is an arbitrarily invented bullshit business creating an artificial need that makes people wanna buy golden cables and similar shit in belief that it will make their life happier, perpetuation consumerism and [capitalism](capitalism.md).
