I think consumers in there eagerness to get things at the lowest

their chosen field but also have to eat.

This is an excellent illumination of the divide between Real Audio Guys
and 'borgs. Feeding a 'borg is simplicity itself.

Why do you get so bent on such a subtle difference.
You yourself say, "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."

So in your view high-end isn't about audio performance.. its about glitz,
glamour and status.
You say thats OK and give the marketing BS a
pass. The "borgs" say No, marketing BS is not ok.

But where does that leave the folks who believe the hype and think
there is something to be had in terms of superior performance?

George, you're more borg than you realize.
