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

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.

Audio is only about a luxury you don't really need. But......music played on a good set can give you an emotional feeling what can be priceless.

It is a good thing to mention that there are more important things in life. I have the dream to start a foundation.

Every person who buys sound&vision equipment from me a part of their spending go to this foundation. I will professional film it and make photographs so people can see what I do with the money.

We want to start with the poverty in my own country. Because this is a problem what is increasing.

For me audio is a way to achieve my main goal in life.
