No WAF, GAF, or jewelry here. Just great sound!!"
Yeah there is an aspect of "if it sounds good, it needs to look good, too" I am totally OK with that. Calling it "audiophile jewelry" I feel is a little derogatory - in that it is discounting entirely if it is any good or not.
I have seen some really nice looking gear (and modest looking), being top notch for performance.
I have seen things that were both pretty looking and nasty looking not being very good.
I totally agree that some things are overbuilt and artificially expensive through Bling. So we're not too far off.
