... The difference is I am not maligning an entire industry in the process. Nor am I saying ruxtonvet is typical of all audiophiles.
Value is in eye of the beholder but presenting a book priced at pocket change as representing;Typical of all that is wrong with the economics of high end audio and TAS in particular.
Is a ridiculously broad brush statement.
A quality, hard cover, well bound, heavy glossy paper, chronicled pictures and limited production coffee table book is hardly expensive at $140.
For those who don't see the value they can simply pass on the purchase without their enjoyment of the hobby being impinged upon whatsoever.
One could whinge about the price of tungsten decoupling cones/pucks costing over $1000 dollars each. With a minimum of three needed per component one could quickly spend tens of thousands of dollars very easily. Of course not buying the cones/pucks is hardly depriving anyone from enjoying their audio equipment and the music it plays.
Life is good, enjoy it.
