Wow. Totally subjective relativism. Can't go with that. People here are smarter than that. They know that experienced engineers plus good parts and a rigorous design process will come out with a product capable of offering excellent sound. That is the "value" of an audio component. For others to charge 10x the price for that level of sound quality is, arguably, a lesser value -- that is an objective argument that many here can agree or disagree with, but they’ll do so with actual reasons rather than simply declaring that "value is purely subjective." |

when you design and build and something, you have to pay for a facility, utilities, your engineers, their health care, workers, the accountant, web designer, trade show trips, inventory, marketing costs, distribution, shipping, etc., it's a long list. Component markup is a very simplistic way to look at it. |
I suspect there is a fair amount of truth in the story the videos tell but these videos also are representative of the AI slop that is permeating YouTube. I have trouble putting much faith in any videos that don’t have a real live presenter. It doesn’t help when the narrator says“1974“ and the number 2000 flashes on the screen. |
