Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?

First: i believe in Helmholtz acoustic method , even if i myself created my own tweaks also at NO COST...But my main acoustic grid devices are Helmholtz devices, PURE SCIENTIFIC DEVICE IN ACOUSTIC.... And like i already said all "tweaks" dont make a method even if they work and some work because i experiment them , BUT tweaks dont replace and will never replace proper  acoustic/psycho-acoustic science and acoustic  devices control  ... This is what i said if you read my posts...

Second: If you dont see many corporates worldwide conspiracies now behind "politics" you need help... Ask help from your children years school teacher it will be enough ... 😁😊Or buy books...

Third : putting people who advocate any "tweak" in the same bag with some alleged deluded conspirationist, this category exist for sure, is borderline trolling INSTEAD of thinking....

Is it clear?

I’m just speculating, but is their a positive correlation between those who use and believe in audio tweaks and those who believe in vast worldwide conspiracies? One rabbit hole is as good as the next, I guess?

it certainly seems rational that anyone who believes in raising cables off a wool carpet would also believe in worldwide conspiracies, absolutely

Anyone making this sophistic assimilation resemble more to a troll than to a benevolent poster....

Raising cables from the floor, which i dont do anyway , has nothing to do with the B.I.S history for example ....

But i am sure that at your level of thinking you dont have a clue about B.I.S. history for example...Bank of international settlements...Or  Blackrock...

Who confuse the corner where he painted himself into with truth?

A clue: it is not your neighbour sometimes no.....

Think by yourself and dont put all people you dont like in the same bag for the sake of labelling them and insulting them ...

Sarcasm is not always an intelligence sign...

Benevolence is a better sign on the long run ....Try it....

Mine are off the floor, the carpet isn't wool though. How do you clean your floor if the cables are just laying there? I'm guessing not to often. The only sure conspiracy, "dirty cables". It's only a conspiracy if the cable fairy cleans your cables and NOT mine. :-)

What about nylon wool blend?
