Who cares? 1. Anyone who takes what is written in a review of a high priced audio component seriously is rather foolish. More than 50% of what any of these guys "hear" is imaginary. 2.

It's a lot easier to make money selling high margin stuff to rich people than to compete with big companies mass producing affordable gear. What makes a $30K component better to its target audience is the fact that it costs $30k.
