Maybe, but "high end" and "consumer say all that need to be
said. Look at what big pharma is doing with the advertising of prescription drugs here in the U.S. PUt those two words
together in any sentence and I automatically think snake oil bullshit.

Well absolutely, I`ve always thought 'rec.audio.pro' to be an oxymoron.
I have no beef with anyone in any newsgroup, we all have our faults. Tho
some people seem to only be here to cause trouble.

Almost everyone from a.a.p.l-s with whom I`ve corresponded or spoken
with privately, (certainly the pros) have usually proven to be quite
removed from their individual internet persona - there are one or two
notable exceptions...

It`s interesting to me that the people who seem to cause the most
trouble on a.a.p.l-s, are not audio professionals but 'enthusiastic
amateurs'
