Why have pseudoscience when you can have the real thing?

Exactly. If the audiophools were to say, "I just want it, it makes me happy" that would, to some extent suffice - I'd still be angry with the charlatans selling the stuff. If I ask myself the question, "Do I need quantity XX vintage hifi receivers and tuners?". In all honesty, the practical answer is "no". However, like all collectors, I simply like buying, restoring and owning them, it makes me happy.
