Where did I say that all high end audio is a rip-off,
Gordon?

I didn't.

There's obviously a legitimate place for audio gear where
fewer expenses are spared in the honest and competent quest
for better sound.

The rationale behind ABX was all about high end audio in a
positive way. We thought that high end audio was about
improved sound quality, and that listening was the ultimate
test of improved sound quality. So, we did the best audible
comparisons we knew how to do some of high end equipment of
the day to low end equipment of the day, and also among
alternative high end equipment. That's been done on and off
to this day.
