Yes, we know marketing talk is largely BS. But it's you
'borgs who can't accept that the same hype happens in audio as in every
other luxury category.

Really... lets take jewelry. For more money one usually gets either
a higher grade, a fancier cut, or simply a bigger diamond.

Usually they get a "better name". Like Tiffany.

How about cars... one usually gets more horse power and a plethora
of useless options.

Or a "fancier name". Like Eddie Bauer.

How about fashion... what does one get for big bucks in fashion?

A "big name". Like Gauthier.

Is audio like luxury fashion? No wonder I like hand me downs.

Naw, you've just got a Goodwill mentality in a 6 figure income.
