I may have to take my statement back and say what he wrote was more coherent than I first thought. Thank you for calling me out on it.  
"not about the $, its about what does it take to engineer a machine that becomes invisible
However IMHE when confronted with a system that has relatively few compromises and particularly images well and is devoid of sibilance, everyone will drop their jaws and universally agree it is one of the best systems they have ever heard if not t...

Deleted because what I wrote was sort of dumb. 
Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables
HFC Innovations, the name, and the product page read like late night informercials. Does it slice and dice and make Julienne fries too?  This page is my favorite  https://www.highfidelitycables.com/technology/   High marks for using high school sc...

Deleted as it is more accurate this way. 
So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again...
If you don't know the relevance of 0.05% measurement accuracy to the measurement (or design) of audio equipment, you could just say so instead of trying to make it look like the fault of someone else.  A high school drop out would probably admit h... 
Where are the young audiophiles?
I would argue that the demographic in question aren’t too poor to afford the average system discussed on Audiogon, they could care less. They like good sound but want it packaged to fit them: decor friendly, space friendly, user friendly. This gro...

Hi end audio equip sounds better today than in decades past due to tech - T/F
Low cost DACs made today are superior to those costing 10x, probably 25-50x what was available 20 years ago. Many expensive DACs are a step backward in performance though you may like the way it sounds.It is surprising how good many low cost speak...

Where are the young audiophiles?
Artists make their money now from touring, not selling media. It has changed the nature of the business. Look at what is playing on my turntable thread. I relatively small cross section of popular music. There were as a lot of awful music in the 6...
