I love that analogy. People think it’s crazy to pay double (or more) for a car that can do 150 mph when the speed limit is 55 mph. But the 150 mph car is much more fun to drive. I think this holds for audio too. There’s some satisfaction in having the best, even if most people can’t tell the difference. Having said that, is there value to putting high performance ignition cables on your 500 hp car with the promise of 15 hp more? For some yes, for some no. Very similar hobbies.
