> No emotion here. General Motors makes crappy products. Funai makes crappy
> products.I am not sure who you are trying to convince. Labelling something crappy when it is not a product designed to fit your requirements will be viewed as being emotional by many.
> Regarding integrity, if you bend in the breeze (like some politicians)
> regarding your principles to make a buck, that is prostituting ones self.Making something in a form conforming to prospective customers wants is not demonstrating a lack of integrity. Telling lies about the product in order to persuade people to buy it is demonstrating a lack of integrity. If this is happening here I cannot see it. Can you?
There may well be a grey areas between these two limits such as telling lies but believing them to be true but supplying something that someone wants when it has no benefits over something cheaper is not an integrity issue it is a marketing issue.
Do you think the people that manufacture Cardas wire believe it has astounding acoustical properties above that dictated by simple known scientific laws? Do you think the people that market the wire believe in these properties?
>> He is judging that his customers would prefer Cardas wire to unbranded wire
>> in his speakers.> He could have chosen Belden for less money.
At $19k the price of the wire is unlikely to be a significant factor but the attractiveness of the Cardas brand compared to the Belden brand for prospective customers may well be. Does Belden wire have the same attractiveness as Cardas wire to audiophiles?
> What are these audiophile beliefs?
Beliefs about audiophile products that are incorrect in the scientific sense. Peter Aczels 10 lies article gives a list of many of them.
> Sorry. What is your choice of audio components for reproducing music?
An interesting question. Before supplying it may I ask what information my answer will provide?
