Marketing is all about making you dissatisfied with what you have (i.e., the new, improved Tide!) and as a group, us audiophiles are prime candidates to buy into their spiel. Don't get me wrong....I enjoy getting new gear just as much as the next guy/gal, but sometimes it seems that the chase is the whole point, not the acquisition and use of the gear. After 40-plus years of semi-fanatical dedication to this hobby, I'm happy with mostly mid-level components that operate dependably, sound good to my aging ears, and give me great pleasure at the end of the day. I'm more convinced that you can eke out better performance from whatever gear
you may own by using the best connectors/cables that you can afford and which are simpatico with the equipment. It's nice to get new stuff, but a lot
of satisfaction comes from little changes that separately might not make a difference, but when taken in sum, lift your system to a little higher level.
