I am familiar with this kind of people. I just ignore them.

Sure it does.

It's all engineering.
Totally agree. Of course, I was thinking the best for the particular application,because what is optimal in one situation can be totally wrong in other.

I can add some more, C37, the 500$ wood knob and many others. These things were the reason I lost interest in reading hi-fi magazines and ignore the audiophile comunity in the late eighties. And I was a teenager then.

I try not to put the equal sign between the concept and it's false representants. I like football, the game, but not the football comunity and the galleries, I like motorcycles, but not really the biker comunities, I like rock music but not most of the rockers.

I'm glad to conclude that we agree on almost all (or all) the points, and maybe it is just a different way to react to the same things. Hope everything is fine.
