Your "truths" obviously aren’t "supressed" because here they are, and I’ve even copied some of those "truths" in this post.
I think it is largely a sham. One largely perpetuated by reviewers, snake oil tweak merchants, unscrupulous dealers ...all too many other vested 3rd party interests who may want to offload their mistakes ... they know exactly what they’re doing, and where their bread is buttered. (It’s now a part of a greater malaise affecting the whole mainstream media - but that’s another story) ... Tales of disgruntled, disillusioned, exhausted audiophiles who eventually jump off the upgrade train and downsize with great relief and no loss of sonic satisfaction are legion.Wow, you sound really unhappy. You might consider pursuing another hobby altogether.
I too have many bitter memories / experiences as a consumer. My whole LP12 saga leaves me fragile ... the truth about cables, amplifiers, CD players, MP3 rates, DACs etc has been well understood for decades.
Unfortunately, there are many, many selfish vested interests in suppressing these truths.
