Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?


I don't have any specific example but just from looking at it overall, it seems like high-end components prices have really risen more than inflation.  

Or may be it is must me?

Hifi is cheap compared to butter.... For most of us.... Some here dont even know the cost of butter....Anyway wait a few months and you will discover deals in hi-fi used section....Guess why? 

I always enjoy reading your posts..please enlighten though. By what date will something happen that causes what to happen? I enjoy circling a date certain on the calendar to ensure I'm paying attention.

Finance is like Audio very complex to understand at FIRST sight !

A field of science or an aspect of life are always difficult to understand but way less  if we replace MANY complementary  perspectival views on reality by a singular inforced MAP ... This is what is the central banking system...

His modern incarnation after the foundation of the B.I. S.  is understandable easily if we know that...

 

In audio the many necessary  perspectical views on audiophile experience was focused and conditioned by technology progress for good reasons yes, but way more importantly by gear marketing INSTEAD of acoustic/psycho-acoustic (A./P.A.)science investigation in most audio threads...

Here also the electronical design map fetichism was hiding sound reality A./P.A. experience in the consumers mind ...

I was alluding to an EVIDENT trend  in inflation not to a specific date....

 

By the way thanks for your more than generous appreciation of me....

@nonoise did you finally get that Technics SU700M2.....? what ever it is?

I agree this thread is all pugnacious gas

 I'm so glad that I've been listening to my new integrated break in on it's first day than to read the drivel in this thread. You guys should get into some hobby, like audio.
