Bad news for audiophiles?


In new study a bottle of wine priced at $90 tastes better than a bottle of the same wine with price tag of $10.

No news here. I can be fooled with wine, not audio. I have purchased lower priced audio because it sounds better. Price plays no role. For some it would. We are all different, no way to lump all Aphiles into one camp.
I do not mind to be fooled if the product is good.....I find nowadays that no matter how much you pay you get crap....
Price sometimes dictates value and performance. But not always. I have owned preamps retailing for upwards of 8K and none of them have sounded as good as the passive LDR that I paid 900.00 for. I would gladly replace it if something could beat it. I patiently await that day.
