I understand why reviewers put $500 CD players in $50,000 systems. There seems to be a threshold of resolution in audio, below which everything sounds the same. Reviewers must be pretty sure they're not going to like stuffing a mass-market piece into their highly-tweeked systems, but it's the only way to evaluate performance. Can you imagine putting studded-snow tires on a Ferrari? You might not even notice them on a Yugo, but they make the Ferrari undriveable. The tire manufacturer would say the Ferrari is not worth the price, as it doesn't perform any better than the Yugo. Mr. Ferrari wouldn't even acknowledge the existance of the tire manufacturer.
