Some time ago, a Swiss watchmaker had about 20 prototypes of his new $400,000 watch and he went to the seaside and boarded one yacht after another. You know the kind, like you'd see at a Formula 1 race, all lined up with revelers and partiers doing their thing.
It didn't take long before he was out of watches with enough commitments to buy that he didn't have to worry about work for awhile, of if they'd sell.
The kind of people who'd buy expensive audio gear live a different world than anyone here (I'd dare say) and would find these types of conversations both quaint, and sad, making them feel all the more fortunate and privileged, if they even cared.
All the best,
