Reviews of $10k plus ics, speaker wires, and pcs


Do you think reviewers should do such cables? What about $30k plus components?

These talks about scams are created by all those brands who sell average or even poor quality.

And yessss there are may. In 16 years of time I am in this business I can say; there is a lot of shit on the market.

And there is comming even more. So it is getting more difficult to buy good stuff for consumers.

These days many shops are only interested in making the most money. The quality is less important.

I understand the talks about the madness in the world of cables very good.

There is a reason how it is created. This needs to stop.

Could not agree more.
Those tactics to market the audio product are killing audio itself. Most of the newer generation will never spend even remotley close amounts of moeny on this kind of things. they are raised on IPOd sounds.
But I guess who cares about future.
Common Schema:
Manufacturer A designed and manufactured cable and sold it for $xx,xxx.00 amount and represent it to clubs and reviewers.
Manufacturer B who's never even thought of idea to have $xx,xxx.00 cable decided to repeat the idea, but price his cable a-bit lower and represent it to reviewers.
Manufacturer C who've seen a few or several more manufacturers having presented their cables decides to introduce its new line with similar "level" of class.
Manufacturer x,y,z,123456789012345678...$%^&# places itself onto the same mindset and says why not? I can do same and even that is not end of line!
After all above stated a component manufacturers would say why not if it brings that much of the overoveroverprofit and provide the line of their own cables
Apperently all you need is just a name and voice to make it happen. It's only 1% or less for overall performance and every of the above listed manufacturers know it.
digdigdig.
Audio is losing his credibility every year a little more.

Reasons?

- a lot average and poor quality stuff
- shops do nothing on investing in research of new audio
- focus on the products who give the highest margin instead
of the best quality.
- keep on focussing on the same why as in the past.
- not enough knowledge about the products they sell.

In the 16 years of time I am working in sound and vision
I see that the quality is getting lower ervery year.

Many good stuff is sold a lot less based on selling stuff on political choices.

Many shows only use stuff chosen on political choices. They should look further and work more togheter. To achive a higher level in sound at shows for the people who love good audio.
These days I do tests and give shows for manufacturers. I am surprised how low the level in knowdledge is about the products they sell.

They only focus on selling as much as possible. There is not a lot of focus on the products itself.
