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

Audio is not about brands. Audio is all about creating the best and most convincing sound.

I give you an example. When I was at my friends house in his small concertroom, I was stunned about the intimate sound of an voice. It felt like a magnet. It got my full attention. Small and intimate individual focus is a very important part in the emotion music can give. That is why instruments and voices out of proportion are less involving. This is a very important part for realistic sound. I put a lot of afford to create this in every single system.

When a system goes deeper there is more information and low freq. have a big influence on our emotion. This is what I use for what I call Total sound.

A 3 d sound sets all instruments and voices physically loose from eachtoher. This is also a very important part to make music more realistic and involving.

A higher black level make your speakers more dissapear. This also creates a more involving sound.

Sound realism is maybe the most important part in audio regarding emotion. A violin and cello can give a very involving emotional sound in real. So you want an instrument to sound as realistic possible.

I prefer Pass Labs because their class A give a very realistic sound. But in drive and speed it is more complete than many tube amps. That is why I personally find it more complete than most tube amps.

All parts togheter creates an involving sound what you want to listen for many hours a day with your beloved music.

It is my focus to give clients an endresult in sound were they want to listen for hours a day.

In 16 years of time I know that a lot more people have sets which are incomplete and often they are not satisfied.

This needs to change. That is why a more open and transparent advise in audio is a pre.

The quality needs to get higher to give people more satisfaction in music. It is that simple!

You are right Bo, but still would rather support artists, automobile makers, home builders than so mentioned home audio wire assembly lines.

Music is the essential part of audio. Without music there is no audio. I even think many people who love audio forget this!

This thread has become the Tower of babel.

In answer to the original poster's question: yes, reviewers should review mega-dollar cables because it is in their economic interest to do so.

Even if very few of us will ever end up contemplating spending $8,600 on a Kraken power cord, which just received a good review on Dagogo.com, reviews of mega-dollar cables support all cable retailers/manufacturers. The reviews help convince a select few of us to spend absurd amounts of money on cables, e.g. $13K on the top-of-the line High Fidelity Cables power cord, which costs as much as a clean water well in sub-Saharan Africa or one third as much as an in-ground swimming pool. The rest of us see those reviews, dismiss the products as absurdly overpriced, but slowly become conditioned to spend $500, $1,000, or $2,000 on similar cables without compunction, telling ourselves we have found a bargain. Meanwhile, complete strangers to this hobby would tell us to see a psychiatrist.

In any case, those reviews keep this hobby fascinating, providing a window into both behavioral economics and human psychology.
