Sorry I get carried away with my analogies about the comparisons between things that actually cost right in the market place and high end electronics which are a high cost rich mans "keep up with the Jones's" thing. I just get angry at times because I have built circuits and components for electrical devices and also know how cheap this stuff is compared to what they sell it for retail. I know that these companies have to make money to pay their overhead and peaple and all of that but the markup on high end audio is super ridiculous and it really makes me mad that due to a few rich people that are willing to pay 2000 % markup for this stuff the normal Joes like most of us can't ever hope to be able to afford the best that is out there. In fact there are plenty of people I know that have went the way of DIY because of the super high markup of the high end stuff.
