Introduction
Musical Industry (MI) was founded November, 2002. Their objective is the pursuit of lower cost sound improvements in hi-end audio. Upon a quick glance at their site, I must admit to a high level of skepticism. Being the objectivist I am, I simply find little value in ancillary devices or tweaks that have little basis in provable sciences. But, there are those audiophiles that would care less one way or the other so long as higher fidelity is promised, even if its not delivered, they will think they can hear it and be happy nonetheless.
