New vs Vintage

an audio reviewer):
In my case, I used a similar device based on the fact that MOST audiophiles
DO think that new stuff is better than old.
How do you know this? Is it an assumption, is it hyperbole, or do you
actually have information to support your claim?
Hell, much of the business model
of home audio is based upon the audiophile striving to "upgrade" his
components to the latest and the greatest.
Again, how do you know this? I'm not certain that the image of the
always-upgrading audiophile isn't just a stereotype.
Oh, yes, and one more thing. I STILL work as an equipment reviewer and I've
been with the same publication for more than 16 years.
Which publication? Since you claim to be a journalist, you shouldn't
mind telling us.
