in most if not all cases, these audio meetups mean that folks are listening to a system that are not day-to-day familiar.
Second, the fact that a typical, repressed, introverted audiophile; one who only feels secure sharing opinions while hiding behind a moniker, doesn't jump from their seat and yell 'WOW!' in front of 15-20 people when they hear something that is a small improvement in SQ, should not surprise. :-)

As I have clwarly stated we will not be able to clearly assess MQA until more material is available. I hear the improvements and it is real. You need to try things for yourself to determine if they have any value for you. If you only go by what others say then you will miss out on a lot of good stuff

Because I've been buying all of this stuff based on what YOU hear. :-)
My best friend mostly buys stuff on my advice. When I change my opinion he goes absolutely crazy. My latest thing is old (1950) Western electric and Belding 1842 for interconnects and speaker wire. The current Bob Katz review in Stereophile of active bass traps lists his equipment in his mastering studio. It is completely wire with Mogami cable. He is considered one of the great mastering engineers around. Maybe this whole hi-end cable thing is bull. I have a pair of Western Electric interconnects and they are stunning. I have some Beldin on the way

Mogami is to me fine but Belden, not impressive. Look also at the Copper quality.
"That's not very comforting to to hear at this late date Alan..."
Just me having fun. I have not received the Mogami and Belden cables yet so I can't really comment on them. I do like the Western Electric interconnect. For me there is no real best or worst cable. Each cable has a certain charateristic sound. Sometime I want my system to sound lush and warm or sometimes I want it to sound hyper detailed. I will choose cables to give me that result.I usually will go several months with one set of cables and then will try something else. These changes in charecteristic sound also gives me different insites to the music I am listening to. No one is saying you have to follow this path
