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

I'm under the impression that much of that equipment is made...

simply because it can be made. It's not necessarily any more useful or sounds any better than
someone else's "vision" of the same type of component. More likely its someone that can afford
to build it and maybe has convinced some backer that it can (or might) sell.

I think at best it's aimed at a specific demographic that probably doesn't know much about the audiophile hobby and doesn't care.

Of all the equipment on display there I'd be curious to know how much is in any sort of steady production, how many of the companies
are even close to being in the black and how many will be around in five years.

What we have there is mostly the equivalent of vanity pressings.

Lots of ego on display there, "startups" with an actual product.
