$100,000 line stage

In Old Yiddish: "0y Veh!" 

W.S.Fields said "There's a sucker born every minute". Don't blame me!

Anybody remember a short-lived magazine called Ultra Hi Fi? I bought a few issues and then it disappeared! This was about 1990. Today there would be plenty of pricey components to fill those pages!

I recently sold my Audio Note Zero linestage for a mere $300. Remote included! Maybe I should have asked for more?!!!

Sorry about confusing the W.C.Fields/P.T.Barnum quote! But it's appropo, no?

Back in the late Seventies The Audio Critic tested the Mark Levinson ML6 mono preamps. And thought they were the best sounding units of that time. But the cost - $6000 for the pair! The most expensive preamps at that moment! Peter Aczel (TAC) recommended buying instead the ML7 preamp (single chassis) for a mere $4700 - if one couldn't afford the ML6's.

If I could have afforded it then, I would have bought the $6K pair of ML6's! Now in the present day I had the cash but had forgotten about them (and the ML7). Oy Veh!
