Lewm,
I think Tbg is bemoaning the fact that these DON'T cost around $2k. From what I remember, these are around $8,000 for a typical size component. They certainly do look like they provide excellent isolation. As with any audio purchase, the potential buyer does his/her own cost benefit analysis.
From what you said, even at $8k, if you can take a $10,000 analog front end and equal or surpass a Caliburn, you may not be doin too bad.
I have an SME 30 on a Silent Running Auido base so I am not too sure I would experience the same degree of improement. Then again, I've been wrong enough times in the past . . . .
