Why does Spectral have such a cult following

I've never thought their stuff sounded that special. They have very few dealers and they don't advertise at all. I'm not saying it's bad gear. I just don't understand why some people act like it's the holy grail.

It seems nothing more than an advertising scam. All these years and still must be used with MIT cable and nothing else? Just sounds so ridicules." Yes. AQ, Tara, Kimber and Siltech. They all worked fine.

However, they are not alone in that regard, there are many other expensive name brands that I have never really understood their popularity. Maybe it's me....
