They do say their products are ' state of the art' exactly that was said in the video put up here in one of the other PS audio product threads.
You've missed the critical word in that phrase again... "ART" -
@restorer-john touched on this... allow me to elaborate visually:
Let's call this comparison Matrix Audio's interpretation of art vs. PS Audio's interpretation:
vs .
It's pretty clear which has more
transparency in regards to the model... but SPOILER ALERT: the
one on the right is priceless and the one on the
left can be "rented" by the hour (the
artist not the painting).
Audio is just one of many markets in which cost is definitely
NOT a primary indicator of accuracy.
Indeed, I've mentioned this before too.
The glee with which some people celebrate poor measurements borders on the irrational and even comes across as being….. unscientific
Agreed, but
completely human and typical. People don't stop and stare (or take pictures) of a train that
safely arrived at it's destination. At least not many do... but when one derails... you'll have people leave work early to gawk at the carnage... in huge numbers. And when was the last time you read a news article about the politician that delivered on their promises and was beyond reproach in their personal life as well? Not that I actually believe there
are any... but even if there was, it
wouldn't be news.
More to the point... there is a lot of activity and accolades to be thrown around (as well as new sales) when the latest champion product blows the doors off the competition on ASR too. So it's not just the
beauty of tragedy at play here.
Well I don't know about everybody else but what I have is not glee, it's dismay.
When high end companies tell us of their state of the art products, novel circuits, and engineering prowess should I believe even a single word?
Right there with ya.
