Audiophiles: Are They Hearing Something We’re Not?

You may think of yourself as someone with an interest in hi-fi, who believes that the music you love deserves to be heard in decent sound quality. Perhaps you spent a few hundred quid on an amp and speakers, or a Sonos system. Perhaps you upgraded the earbuds that came with your phone for a pair of Beats headphones. Or perhaps you’ve junked your CDs and turned your nose up at digital downloads in favour of a return to vinyl, confident that it sounds “so much warmer”.

But you’re not an audiophile.
