Re: You know what the real problem is?

Once you get above the entry level, I really have not found a good correlation between price and sound quality. In fact, some of the best sounding systems I have heard have been well set up systems of fairly modest cost ($3-5000). As far as your list of comparisons of ordinary vs "better" alternatives, I'd have to say it depends more on execution than the specific technology. Further, you can't pick a piece out of a circuit and say that it's categorically better. like a grid choke Vs a resistor. You really have to look at what else is different in the circuit and then figure out if that or the choke is the reason for the perceived improvement.

If it floats your boat, that's fine; but it might not float mine.
