Well, I've learned something new again on this group. I've learned about the
existence of high-end audio, a bizarre world that I had never heard about
before. It seems to be a very small world that presumably appeals to people of
low intelligence and high income (e.g., people working in financial markets).

I don't think that any ordinary consumer would be seduced by anything in this
world, and I presume that professionals would be immune to its charms as well,
so it's really only a source of amusement.

I recall hearing about Monster Cables ages ago, and they seemed overpriced and
excessive at the time to me. Clearly, that market went off the deep end long
ago.
