No one to blame but the hi-end industry itself.Hi-end audio has pretty much disassociated itself with any form of credibility.
Everything sounds great. Ask any Stereo mag.
Don't forget to fill your room with magic pebbles too. Don't EVEN THINK of calling those people cheats or liars. No, because we don't want to hurt their feelings or question their golden ears. Don't forget to pony up the $6k large for some speaker wire too. There's a lot of common sense going on there, sure. You can disagree, but most of the world's population is going to agree with me.The majority of hi-end is a lie and a bunch or B.S. People who haven't been sucked into the "audio cult" have a much clearer perspective than those in the hi end forest.
I would venture there is a large contingent out there who considers anyone who spends $5,000 on a pre-amp an idiot. Since most folks don't want to be considered an idiot by their friends they aren't getting int hi-end audio.
In contrast, have you ever seen someone in a Diablo and thought "what an idiot for spending $80,000 (whatever) on a car?". Nope, most people are impressed as heck. That won't ever happen with audio.
Don't get me wrong, I love hi-end audio. Who really wants to wade through the lies, hype, dealers, etc? To most people getting great sound isn't worth the trouble. Buying Bose is easy. No hassle. No back -and-forth-banter. Hi-end audio still hasn't figured out, and probably never will, how to make hi-end EASY. Its waaayyy too difficult so people won't bother.
