I did not read it, I rarely read those types of articles but what you describe is very common and very indicative for those people. They fly like butterflies from a manufacture to a manufacture, from dealer to dealer and from marketing campaign to marketing campaign, picking the very superficial and very shallow perceptions and views. Interesting that none of them, even if they do have the initial intentions for Sound, are looking for the actual results but ONLY for the supporting their position and status of being at the hub of the industry’s distribution.  It is not wonder that they consider themselves as bellybutton of audio but the beautiful part that they do not real users of audio. Look it is fine if people come across something that he is she impressed in audio and wiling to share. If sh/e has any audio and listening intelligence then it might be a good writing from a product users. But looks what those industry riders have instead of a normal audio-life. Let look at that retard Framer for instance. A few weeks ago some guy calculated the stats for the reviews and claimed that Framer published near 50 reviews a year. It is just the published reviews not to mention 3 times more equipment that the poor guy should hear in his home and filter out the manufactures that did not feed him. Can you pretend that in your installation you change components 2-3 times a week? Who the hell would care then what you think about a “new” component! No wonder that the sound of the Framer’s system is a subject of the mockery for anyone who was in his room.

The start of the High-End Industry? I do not think that audio High -End even started as the TAS’ level. Really, the High End is not about the big prices or but big attitude of the cretins who run the industry but about the High -End Results, or the actual Sound. As far I know the TAS demo room is very revoltingly sounds and the people who do that manganese are not really about the Results but more about making the important faces and puff themselves from pomposity

I do not know when High-End started. There are some evidence that Germans tried ”something: in mid of the 1930. RCA, Western Electric, and many others also tried to do “better” audio during that time. However, do not think that it was shaped as the Industry at that time. Me personally, I feel that the mass conception of benefits of the “better sound” started from the Walt Disney’s "Fantasia" with Stokowski. If I remember the production stated in 36-7s and was release in the 1940. In 1946-49 RCA and Western Electric built many 4-9-ways installations for highest possible public performance of the "Fantasia". I think that the "Fantasia” performances gave an injection to the public and the concept to the market that a better audio might do better saleable sound. It is not argument that (in US) RCA, Marantz, Klipsch, WE, Hafler, Dynaco, Bell, Westrex, Electro Voice, Altec, JBL, Dynaco, McIntosh, many others were in the very beginning…
