No, but I once listened to an audiophile system totally ripped on Guinness Stout. It was awesome.

I didn't even know the word "audiophile" existed when I was doing that stuff. Besides, I practically lived in my car back in those days and all my money went into car stereos.

No, but I once stayed at a Holiday Inn Express.
sigle malt, mate you need single malt. It'll make coin size speakers sound marvelous
I have a couple of questions.
1. What's an audiophile system?
2. What's wack?
3. How do you know it's wack if you don't consume said substance?
I listen to an audiophile system on a daily basis. I have done so under all kinds of conditions from stone cold sober to where did my mind go. Currently my mind altering substance of choice is Chimay Grand Reserve. It works quite well for me.
Any audiophile listens to an audiophile system (usually their own) if given a choice.

My system sounds good before smoking any of those left handed cigarettes .
I think that the better the system, the easier it is to reach that suspension of reality WITHOUT any pharmacological assistance.
But rarely does anything too strong enhance the sound much. It might go well with certain kinds of music for sure. So the music might be "enhanced" but the sound then takes a back seat to the chemical.
