RE: According to a local dealer, manufacturers must all be geniuses



The cynic in me would say that the dealer took his cue from reading too many magazine reviews and their price-proportional rankings.

I wouldn't say that a lot of components are miss-priced. They are priced at what the market will bear for a particular (loosely defined) segment.

So of course that shiny new $10,000 DAC with the thick front panel wrapped in the latest marketing spin must sound better than the $900 unit built in a folded sheet metal enclosure. It just has too!
