In Reply to: "we" & "you" haven't exposed ANY of these products posted by Sordidman on December 26, 2014 at 11:56:05:
The classic example of an "audiophool" product is a repackage job with a new case, new brand name and new high price but the same old, same old innards. There have also been high priced cable "filters" that when torn down are shown to have encapsulated "blobs" which turn out to be nothing but some wires going straight through, etc... Then there is the high end marketing literature which makes pseudo-technical claims that can not possibly be true, e.g. they violate the laws of physics. In the past I have linked to some of this BS and have done a little deconstruction of the offending lies.
Depending on which circles one travels one may get a different perspective as to the fraction of salesmen, dealers, and high end manufacturers who are scam artists and those that are merely struggling small businessmen. There are crooks and scam artists in all lines of business, but they seem to concentrate most in areas where the consumers are well heeled and not technically knowledgeable and where product performance tends to be highly subjective. In other fields the customers are highly technical and value conscious and product performance may be highly objective, e.g. an airplane crashes and people die if the design is poor, making BS designs and literature less likely.
