Diminishing returns does apply

Don,

I personally disagree with the notion that you have to spend exponentially more $$ to get improvements. Fundimental differences in our approach - that's OK each to our own. It's a matter of opinion - but I think I understand what you are saying conceptually.

However, diminishing returns is an almost indisputable fact. It is actually one of the only 3 defined LAWS of economics. It is not a subjective concept. At is core appliction to audio it states that the incremental levels of improvements you recieve upgrading to a $40k system from a $28k system is less then the incremental improvements you recieve from upgrading to a $28k system from a $5k system. Essentially the level of improvement realized from upgrading from a $5k system to a $28k system is greater then the improvement realized from upgrading from a $28k system to a $40k system.

This is a very simplistic example but does demonstrate the concept. I personally feel that diminshing returns kicks in at lower price point then outlined above and that is where trully meaningful discourse could take place.

Diminishing returns is indistiputable, however the price points in which it kicks in could be discused ad nasuem.
