High-end audio stuff is as crazy a conundrum like the proverbial "Dilli ka laddu"!!!

- One can't believe magazine reviews, because they are hardly unbiased
- Stuff like that is not available for auditioning. For that matter, many of the brands are not - even at far lesser price points
- However good or bad a product might be, there are more wordsmiths associated with the product than real users who share their experiences
- Even if one has the money & urge to splurge, in the absence of auditioning selection can only be due to word-of-mouth or simply accepting marketing claims. Of course, company reputation (pieces sold) can shorten the selection procedure - "believability"!

There must be a better way of resolving this conundrum (and the associated 'religious' discussions). Right, @autophile, @LBM?
