The truth.
Lies and snake oil are anathema to happiness in this hobby.

MQA is another bunch of lies:

Did you listen to MQA?
Do you think that companies such as WADAX, DCS or MSB would spend money developing it for their top units if it was simply a "lie"?
Give the market what it thinks it needs. I am still waiting for the power cord with adjustable voltage gain.
His site section concerning audiophile myths is very reasonable and interesting. http://sunnyaudiovideo.com/sunny-s-blog/six-myths-that-are-keeping-you-from-your-dream-audio-system

Happiness and "the truth" often have little if anything to do with one another.
Perhaps often, but not always. The truth can be useful to those willing and able to embrace it, and lead to more happiness, or to a faster path towards happiness. For others, no harm done by truth anything other than them perhaps becoming a little upset, if at all. So why not expose it?

Of course, you can have the relativistic stance that there is no such thing as truth. As a scientist I oppose such a view. On the other hand, I don't believe that as of yet all phenomena in audio can be explained by science, certainly not in the simplistic manner that many engineers want us to believe.
On the subjective level, truth can matter or not, and personal views can color how we perceive truth. And often truth is elusive and a matter of great debate. Yet there is truth.
Truth does not need to be uniform: The sound at different seats in the concert hall can be very different, but it is true at each of those seating positions. How it is perceived by different individuals is a different matter.
Hello 853guy,
I understand. But if a guy cranks up the volume during a demo in order to fool people into thinking that it sounds better, I'd like to know. Would you not?

Hi Al,
No, because it is not the responsibility of the person running the demo what the audience do with their money.
Hi 853guy,
it seems we are thinking within different moral frameworks then.
