I would like to see some evidence to support that.

+ 1. Folks have been whining about the exorbitant prices ever since the 60s and 70s. I complained rather vociferously myself on occasion. But not once did I try to emulate Fabio. A man’s got to know his limitations.

Huh, this is becoming a socio-economic aspect of sound quality.


Continuously raising prices does not seem to impact the major audio market that negatively. iPhones and similar machines have been selling quite well. On the other hand, I can see economic inequity impacting some segments of audio market as wireless Apple earphones remain expensive and they are what a large number of music-listeners are striving for.

I had to laugh at wesheadley's response. Not only does he "know" that cables plateau in the hundreds and not thousands, but he also has divine insight into the buying motives of others. Perhaps he would like to share with the rest of us a bit of his resume. I also think I can detect of bit of a shaming mentality so often present in discussions about the purchase of luxury items.

My guess is that dogma would say that economic inequity is the root of all evil. 

I am with n80 in that I think your point is absurd.
