You're making a common logic error. Just because a large number of people say something is true does not actually make that thing true, especially when a lot of those people earn their living selling the thing they are talking-up. For example, look at astrology. There are many millions of people who believe their lives are controlled by such silliness as where the stars and planets are in relation to each other and the earth. Are they right? What about psychics? Do you think any of them really can see the future? A lot of women who live in trailers do. How about Naziism? A lot of people were convinced that there was an ultimate solution to all of mankind's problems. Were they right? Look how many people voted for W, not once, but twice! That alone should tell you about the wisdom of crowds. All of this still ignores the dangers of handling CF and especially the danger of CF fiber fragments getting into your audio equipment and wrecking it. You can make all the arguments you want about stealth technology and whatever crap you read on some internet forum populated by religious fanatics disguised as audiophiles, or in marketing literature from companies trying to sell expensive stuff to audiophiles. In the end, if you wrap your equipment in CF cloth it is unlikely to keep working for very long. If you are lucky, no one including you, your children, spouse, guests, or pets will have the mind-bending experience of inhaling any of those flying fiber fragments. What makes more sense, listening to a salesman whose next boat payment depends on your believing what he says or believing what the MSDS says, and what people who have handled the material say? I think the public school system in this country needs to put a lot more effort into teaching critical thinking skills...
