General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

I disagree....

The quest for new materials science applications will continue, and smart designers/inventors will keep pushing the envelope. Much of the time new discoveries uncover information that hasn't been previously considered, and new applications create new products, wholly unrelated to the particular raison d'etre of the original quest.

Whether you agree with the quest or not, witness the proliferation of ultra high-end equipment utilizing ever more purity of materials and quality of construction....the price tags are beyond most, and only for the very wealthy. But the demand already exists, and the orders (many times for unique builds and/or limited production runs) are fulfilled. I spoke to a designer/manufacturer just tonight on such a limited edition product, destined for the demand of the Hong Kong and southeast Asian markets.

The article I referenced fascinates me....not so much for the particular materiel being utilized, but for the measurement protocol and "high end" equipment used. I've always believed that a great deal of activity is occurring on a nano level....the proper testing and methodology (yet to be designed) could very well reveal, and correlate to the subtle (and large) differences we experience with equipment, cabling, and the multitude of audio accessories. My 3 cents.
