Summary: 


for those of you who never have sold audio eqipment for a living, it is
a standing joke (with some truth to it) that high end audio is more
concerned with the insecurities of a high end stereo owner than the
sound of the system itself.  there is the image of a guru who marches
to the beat of a completely different drum, who's capable of hearing
things no mere mortal can hear, and whose judgments on the quality of
equipment is to be revered and interpreted endlessly to find the
"Ultimate Sound" or the "Perfect System".  listen to the liquid tones
of a kiseki lapis lazuli cartridge on a souther arm and a thorens
reference standard turntable.  never mind that to mortals, the three
cost as much as a '85 corvette fully loaded.  it's the sound that
counts and the name on the front.
