How to greatly appreciate AudiogoN....

Just go to any local Craigslist in any city.  If you have been an Audio person and kind of stayed into that high end world going to Criagslist will help see why it is such a niche market.  The majority of this country, maybe the world, purchases very bad products....but perhaps that is true for most catagories of consumer products...  But as most of us know the average American's take on sound quality is from their car radio/cd player or a Jukebox.

The overall quality of consumer goods has improved considerably since 1900!

@roberjerman...*L*  One could hope that 120 years ought to make for improvement....

IMHO, the largest lapse in improvement is, unfortunately. Us.

The more we seem to learn, the more we apparently forget.
We keep hearing that our mental capacity seems limitless.

...and then I see a guy on the tube that shouldn't chew gum when trying to walk....'relatively speaking', all in all...

The more things change, the more they remain the same...*shrug*

WE are the enemy we ought to fear the most....mho....;)

I have never heard anyone say or suggest that our mental capacity is limitless. In fact technology is decreasing our mental capacity per week at a rate that used to take decades.

A fine audio system, great guitars, a beautiful piano, a couple Celesteon telescopes and I do woodworking in the garage.  Looks like I’m quite a dweeb...but I do appreciate quality.
