Nearly 25 years ago, I walked into a “high-end audio” store for the first time. I intended to write an article exposing the enterprise – $10,000 amplifiers, $5,000 turntables, and the like – as a fraud. Could this souped-up gear sound that much better than mass-market stuff at one-tenth the price?
After a few seconds of listening, my agenda – and really, my life – took a new direction.
