Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?

I don't have any specific example but just from looking at it overall, it seems like high-end components prices have really risen more than inflation.

Or may be it is must me?

My three year old Kinki integrated cost me $2000 My brand new Technics integrated cost me $2700, and it's lightyears ahead in tech and features and bests both by more than a margin. Manufacturers are always aware of demographics and keep gear priced accordingly so I'd say that the price has not gotten out of hand, unless one is envious of and covets what others have and just can't afford it, for reasons they should discard. Be the fox with the sour grapes and enjoy what you have. 👍 All the best, Nonoise

Simple as that. Time for the Green Eyed Monster to take a walk. All the best, Nonoise

Until the grid goes down or someone lights off one big ass EMP bomb. 👍😄👍 If that ever happens, I'll literally laugh my ass off. All the best, Nonoise

I’m amazed how much this idiot has destroyed in little more than a year. The evil Orange man was not so bad, now was he.....when you watch/listen to him speak, it makes you wonder how on God’s great earth was this person elected. That has to be the most idiotic trolling I've read in a long time. 180º from reality. Alternate reality stuff. Go play on the freeway. All the best, Nonoise
