It's a fact that higher end equipment can be sensitive to interference

That sentence seems completely upside down to me

If I pay through the nose for a piece of gear, it better be as immune to interference as modern technology can possibly make it.

I don't understand why good gear should be more sensitive to anything. Sounds more like a free pass for incompetent engineers to build stuff, as long as they label it "High-End"(no offence).

Somehow the industry has convinced people that "High-End" means gear that indiscriminately reveals everything, including its own weaknesses. Makes no sense to me. Good engineering pushes the weaknesses below audibility and leaves the rest alone.

As ever we are of one mind ;-)
