Do audiophiles creat the high prices we complain about.


I do think we do it to ourselves by greatly considering pricing when we buy. A manufacturer has to have certain price points or their gear wouldn't be considered worthy. I have had audiophiles tell me they want 10-25k speakers, not good ones the price comes 1st for many. Anything under those prices isn't good enough in their minds.

When they release a product that is priced below Market Comparable, the expectation is that it must be unworthy.

That's what happens when there is no universally acceptable way way to define what is "good". We become slaves to hype, biases, opinions, herd effect, magazine ads, you name it.

 

I'd blame it on subjective.

By keeping it in the ethereal world, who can say what anything is or isn't worth?
