An elitest's viewpoint.

[E-Stat]

So the pursuit of high-fidelity means that one can't have a subjective idea of expense and if we do we are in the wrong hobby?

Not at all. I merely presume you are aware of the many $50k and above amplifiers on the market. Similarly, my wife's Honda S2000 costs one-tenth that of a Ferrari with not too terribly different performance. I suspect that some folks would consider the Honda expensive, but in context to the market, I think most would agree that it is not.
