Generally speaking; the monetary value that people place on
items, is a pretty fair indicator of how good they
might be(You can fool some of the people, all of the time and
all of the people, some of the time, but- you can't fool all
of the people, all of the time). Yes- there are different
tastes in sonics(ie: clean/liquid/defined and
warm/microphonic/tubey), and a wide variety of brands that
many consider desirable. However; if one checks the prices
that people have consistently(for decades) been willing to pay
for certain offerings, it becomes clear which are largely
considered, "the best," worldwide.
