'We' haven't evolved into anything.
The hi-fi industry has split into 'gear for normal people' and 'gear for the people who own ferrari's'.
I hope you like this, it's not changing anytime soon.
Ignore the $200,000 amps and $100,000 speakers, it has nothing to do with us.

Obviously wealthy people buy that stuff, not the overwhelming majority of audiophiles. Just like any other supposedly hi-end item whether gloves or hifi, they charge what the traffic will bear and capitalize on the concept that if it costs a helluva lot of amount of money it must be the best.
No doubt some hyper-expensive hifi products *are* among the best. I just don't care, and wouldn't care about amps/pre's like that even if I had Bloombergian resources.
If you have the money and want the best, go for it. I'm not jealous of the wealthy.
I just wanted my post at the bottom, it wasn't directed at anyone in particular.

Does the Miser of Omaha spend any of his money on such equipment?
