Is this question a cynical joke? Or just being asked by a thoroughly uniformed listener without much in the way of logic or understanding of humans , music or the quest for our personal audio nirvana? Probably just a miserable soul with thoughts of conspiracies in every aspect of life. Am I getting warm?
Are audiophile products designed to initially impress then fatigue to make you upgrade?
If not why are many hardly using the systems they assembled, why are so many upgrading fairly new gear that’s fully working? Seems to me many are designed to impress reviewers, show-goers, short-term listeners, and on the sales floor but once in a home system, in the long run, they fatigue users fail to engage and make you feel something is missing so back you go with piles of cash.

@johnk I have noticed that the DIY crowd is the same, they just do it cheaper because they are building it themselves. The DIY forums are filled with I built this because it's better than my last build. |

This is audio conspiracy theory to the max. The thought that well known audio manufactures' business model is to fool their customers so that they will buy a product they won't like and have to trade up sooner is borderline paranoia. THE PROBLEM: is that a vast number of audio buyers, even high end buyers, don't know how to listen or know what to listen for or just don't know their audio tastes so they end up making mistakes. That's not the manufacturers fault. |
