C'mon - do BETTER then that!

That argument is NOT at all compelling and leaves us in the exact same place we are right now. It does nothing to further the discussion what so ever and quite frankly is somewhat tired and lacking in substance. Here is why:

The inverse of that argument can also be equally applied very easily to the same effect. "How many *great* innovations turned out to be totally false - how many thousands, if not millions?” See my point?

Let's stop with comparing high end audio to earth shattering science. How many great innovations that have changed the world have EVER come out of the HiFi industry? People who are trying to change the world of science for the betterment of mankind generally don't try and accomplish that goal within the ranks of the hifi industry.

We audiophiles as a lot take ourselves WAY too seriously. C'MON - if you had the mind of Einstein would you really be designing a teleportation tweaks or trying to cure cancer or create a truly clean renewable energy? Look, I like to tweak with the best of ‘em, however my methods & views differ from that of the MD Crew – C'MON just for one minute let’s put down our tin foil hats & $5k power cords and think about the stuff we are saying.
