1 >>>Really? Ever been to CNET recently? Arstechnia? Slashdot?<<<
Can't speak for the last 2, but CNET is a measurement only type of site. There have always been (and always will be) folks like that. That certainly isn't new. Perhaps you don't remember Audio Review magazine.
>>>Are you really arguing that high-end audio is not considered decadent?<<<
That would depend on your definition of "high-end" and "decadent".
That is of course, somewhat relative. There's a good chance you would find much of what I enjoy as "decadent". I prefer the term "nice". To each his own.
>>>Please answer, citing all those $100,000+ loudspeakers everyone gets hot under the collar about.<<<
Huh? Are you saying if its not $100,000+ its not high end?
>>>Every other post here seems to be calling out high-end's low moral standards, pimping itself to the highest bidder, forgetting that we used to be the highest bidder.<<<
I don't recall reading that many such posts, except for yours (and your other sock puppets) and a few other whiners, but I don't read every post here. BTW, if you are bitching about prices now, you were NEVER the highest bidder.
>>>Of course, rather than admit we can't play with the big boys anymore.<<<
I admit it. I cannot play with the big boys. Feel better?
