In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator

Who knew listening to a banana sounded so good?

I generally find audiophiles to be a pretentious bunch, so this sounds about right.

    Sounds like we have very similar sensibilities, including the limits of what we care about. I also mostly listen in an old car, and I took the plunge and upgraded the speakers with some better coaxial speakers than the stock ones. It was an absolutely great return on investment if you don’t mind a beginner-friendly car project. Easy job to complete in a couple of hours and the customer service techs at Crutchfield are very forthcoming with knowledge and assistance.
