I think that post should be required reading before anybody starts buying audio equipment to actually listen to music for enjoyment.
After reading that, which I largely tend to agree with, I have two possible solutions to audiophilia nervosa.
1. Always drink alcohol or listen in noisy environment so that 0.1% SQ improvement for $10,000 is neither perceived nor necessary.
2. Since "blind listening" is never possible in one's actual home, always have your spouse buy the audio equipment without telling you which and hide them behind curtains for you to enjoy.
I think alcohol causes the opposite problem for me!
But agree, great post.
