Fine! then call it aestetics!! ART is ART, but this stuff is being portrayed something where "The sound becomes much more open and free flowing with a nice improvement in resolution. Dynamics are better and overall naturalness is improved." Heck, they might as well throw in: "It makes your hair grow back, and lose that 40 lbs you've always needed to lose, and the ladies will loooooooooooove you"
They just want you to justify the dough for "dynamics and clarity"(bullcrap)so you will spend the money for a wooden knob that costs them probably less that 10 bucks.Try explaining it to your wife!I think to a certain degree things are worth the money for quality equipment, but this is out and out fraud. But if people buy, good for them, they deserve what they get. PT Barnum is smiling somewhere!
