No offense intended, but I couldn't disagree with you more. A huge proportion of "high-end" audio products are total garbage, at least from a price/performance point of view. It's true a $15,000 wire will conduct electricity, but so will a 10 cent wire, and so by any reasonable standard the $15,000 version should get a very, very bad review. Instead the reviewers spout nonsense about speed, timing, extension, etc., when in truth they'd be incapable of picking the thing out in a blind test. It's pretty despicable, really.
