Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive?
The best sounding gear is priced beyond the means of most people.  They are luxury items and audio equipment is no different than other consumer product categories.  Fortunately, there's just tons of good to great sounding equipment at non-stratos... 
Ridiculous sale
It's called capitalism and it's driven by self-interest.  If someone buys it at that price, then it's a fair transaction.  Greed is good, right?  
Hey - What Happened to the Beware of Viking Acoustics Thread
All the lonely people where do they all come from?  
Cable curmudgeon
When I first started out I couldn’t hear much, if any, differences between wires and CD players, but with time and experience they become obvious and much easier to hear and appreciate. Could be that you got better at listening, or possibly, yo...

Way too much anger directed against someone's actual experience. +1 clearthinker  
Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma?
Not everybody is on an epic journey.  I suspect many just want to get something that sounds good so they can listening to music.  Every now an then they'll start a post along the lines of "have there been any improvements since 1992?"  
Chill Out; Get Outside of yourself
Thank you for a marvelous thread! @clearthinker why do you pollute this wonderful thread with your anger and insecurities? Photo above looks like a great location for a new lo-comfort prison for the fraudster scumbags in another post today.  P... 
Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this?
Audiophiles discussing whether audio components are pretty and/or sexy -- is this a rejected SNL skit?  
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief...

There must be some kind of way out of here...  
Do these look similar?
It certainly looks similar to me, but so what!  When you buy a Wilson loudspeaker you're paying for design/research, dealer support and an exotic cabinet.  They use quality drivers, but not state of the art.  The amp is probably made to their spec... 
UGH...The tired, "BEST" Rock guitarist thread
There's no questioning EvH's brilliance as a musician.  He was the real deal, although he probably didn't produce music equivalent to his talent level.  On the other hand Ted Nugent as a guitar player is a footnote.  A fine entertainer, but his pl... 
Are AI Equipment Reviews on the Horizon?
@artemus_5, I think you miss the point.  The AI program writes a fictional review that can fool real readers into thinking it was written by a human. The fact that it is written about wine/beer is besides the point and the AI could just as easily ... 
Why Do You Post?
I'm glad people are here to exchange ideas, primarily about music and music reproduction, and sometimes even on other topics.  I've learned much about both here.  The downside is I've learned about some aspects of human nature too.  A small inconv... 
I don't want to beat a dead horse but I'm bugged.
@russ69 I didn't say the measurements have to be great, they can just be good.  Good is more than acceptable.
