Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?


I don't have any specific example but just from looking at it overall, it seems like high-end components prices have really risen more than inflation.  

Or may be it is must me?

The reason Biden stopped the pipeline, fracking and exploration was to increase prices to curtail usage and CO2 production.

That certainly qualifies as a world wide conspiracy theory.  So, what tweaks have you installed lately?  Were they effective?

BTW, didn't the previous President remove the federal barriers to the pipeline on his first day in office?  And over four long years the pipeline wasn't built.  Do you have another conspiracy theory to explain that?

And to add some historical facts.  In 2017 the U.S. was the largest producer of crude oil in the world.  In 2021 the U.S. was still the largest producer.  Somehow producing all that oil is "torturing" the economy.

I'm just speculating, but is their a positive correlation between those who use and believe in audio tweaks and those who believe in vast worldwide conspiracies?  One rabbit hole is as good as the next, I guess?

In 2021 Thomas Piketty concluded that approximately 3,000 billionaires control 3% of the world's wealth.  The bottom 50% of income earners control 2%.  This level of income inequality rivals the Gilded Age of more than a century ago.

Numbers and facts matter.
