The funny thing is the difference between "audiophile" expensive stuff (specialized wood knobs, overpriced cables), versus studio/professional grade equipment.
For example, a set of pro grade monitor speakers are similar in price to midrange "audiophile" stuff, but the monitors will have a proven flat response which is necessary for an accurate mix (boomy bass can always be tossed in later), while the "audiophile" stuff... who knows.
Pro grade stuff is for people who spend money to do audio for a living, and it doesn't live up to the rigors of the studio and gigging, it is not worth having. "Audiophile" stuff doesn't really have to do much other than maybe look cool.
