That's interesting, I thought the article was about marketing "snob appeal" to uninformed consumers, ie: end users. Just as I like to drink Guinness instead of Budweiser, it's personal taste. Some folks will pay extra money for what is marketed as being better - even if there is no scientific proof. This forum generally caters to those in the recording business, not the end users or casual listeners. Trying to remain objective can be difficult when one is bombarded with so many "better than" claims made by advertisers. You pays your money and you takes your chance. Some of the analogies in the article - "radio shack speaker wire or coat hangers as such" reminds me of MP3 vs. pro audio quality. I'll have a double shot of Snake Oil and a Bucket of Steam to go! :-)
