Amir, 

yes it is very much true but not in the context you think it is true. The main force of audio industry distraction of audio was not introduction of bad equipment or faulty audio producing techniques but seeding in the audio consumer faulty expectation regarding the entire meaning of “better” audio. As the resole we have generation or audio consumers who are kind of clueless what they do in audio and the industry juts keep furnishing irrelevant products and means of audio production to these aimless people. Frankly speaking most of you thinking about audio that you expressed at this site is just an evidence of audio aimlessness, and to a degree I feel that you are very much a victim of the consumerism of the audio industry that you are trying to criticize.  I’m might be getting you wrong, I admit that I do not read your posts attentively  but from the few that I did read I feel your criticism about audio industry is no different than a blind person criticize people who use canes or waking dogs.  
 
If you care about my view than I would recommend you to take time out of internet audio and exchanging your idea with others about audio. This is very much dead end. Focus of specific segment of music you are interested. It might be a period, a composer of even one specific work. Then learns whatever you might about this work, about the history and circumstances, get 100s different recommended interpretations of the work. Learn the world to the point that you can play it in your head. Think about this work, connect it to everything you know about life and your other experiences. Then, only then begin to listen this selected work on you playback and try to answers to yourself a question if your playback is something that helps you or prevents you to get the deeper meaning of the work or a specific interpretations of the work. If you feel that your playback does not advance you in getting this sepsis work and do not offer to you any new opportunities in your ethical or spirituals development then trash your playbacks and start collecting stamp. If you feel that your playback does something to you but not in the direction where you feel you would like to go culturally of musical then start to work on your playback. Then, only then you can ask others what/how to do with your playback but I promise you then you will be asking very different questions…  
 
Until then I do not think whatever you write manes any sense, at least to me. I have plenty of 3 years old in my life to hear their conclusions about world and I do not need to read about the same conclusions from my audio site that reportedly should be about “advanced audio and evolved music reproduction techniques”
