The problem I have with many rooms at high end audio shows is the value proposition. You tend to get a lot of bling but only a few cases of actual value for the end results delivered. Often its smaller vendors who think they can outperform all others for a price and charge accordingly but are often sadly mistaken. Only a handful succeed, and they are able to mostly just let their products do all the talking.

Lots of the same around here. It’s fertile ground especially for those selling expensive uber high margin tweaks that people would just laugh at anywhere else. Sorry, but its true. A quick scan of the large % of ads posted here for very expensive tweaks and accessories will prove that out. It is the "high end" audio site after all and the asking price is the key thing that establishes that.

It is what it is. Enjoy!  I learn a lot here.  It takes all kinds.

I've been on and off this site for nearly 2 decades and I miss some degree of banter. The ones I'd rather see go are the ones that own something that's "absolutely the best there is" and they get up and scream into their bullhorn for months and months on end only to sell it an move on to some other mid tier junk and start over again. Wait, maybe that applies here too.

I miss Millercarbon's comments very much.  I thought he was knowledgeable, pithy, but never offensive.  Obviously, others did not see it that way.

That’s a joke, right?

+1 jhnnrrs  He once revealed enough of his geographic origins that it coalesced into explaining some of the behavior.  

I have lived and worked there...and in over 200 other places domestically and in other parts of the world, so the please stow any outrage.  I'm entitled to an opinion.
