Not a few of the companies operating in the esoteric high end accessory market appear to be cynically fraudulent. Apparently supported by some of the hifi press and dealers. Considering that special oils, special shiny tapes, special rocks, special boxes of rocks, special cable lifters, and very special cables have all magically delivered an incredible improvement in imaging and the soundstage etc etc etc, it's very much a sellers' market.
