<!-- #thumb --> <p>Reading this month’s crop of audio magazines I get immersed in the articles and ads. *I suppose most of us do as well. *I find that when I run across an ad or an article on a new piece of high-end gear, the first question that always comes to mind “is this legit?”</p>
<p>I suppose what I am asking is if it qualifies as true high-end audio? *And, what exactly does “true high-end audio” mean? *I guess one could say a $10 Wal Mart surge protected strip is not a high-end power conditioner. *But then there’s a high-end company selling the very same extension strip with a fancy power cable for a lot of money. *Legit? *I guess we could say a mass market table radio isn’t high-end, but then there’s high-end table radio’s out there as well. *Legit?</p>
<p>What makes some products high-end while others aren’t? *Is it the way they perform or sound? *Or is it the perceived image they project? *What are the rules for classification as high-end?</p>
<p>Interesting questions and ones we need to ponder.</p>
<p>BTW, I mentioned yesterday that we’d get a PWD firmware update page together and that’s now finished and available <a href="http://www.psaudio.com/support/perfectwave-firmware-update/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>The update’s free. *Have fun.</p>
