Not a knock at all, it is human nature, but your narrative is myopic and is sculpted to fit into your world view.
Nothing, and I mean NOTHING can possibly justify 100K plus audio components except sheer arrogance, greed, and the knowledge that the top 1% have more disposable income than in any time in history. Study after study has show that tax breaks for the ultra rich do not result in job growth and capital investments. It DOES however, lead to an increase in conspicuous consumption, which in the end, serves the economy I guess.
A $1500 US cable? $45,000 phono stage? $35,000 CD player? $55,000 speaker cables. NOTHING on earth, including R&D, parts, employees or rent could justify these costs given the end product.
That is my world view...:)
