| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @tomrk when I say "outlandish", it means "ugly". I have been thinking about the same thing, which is very much like the OPs question, how high they can go with the price? How far they can go with the ugliness that these top of the line produ... | |
| What to try? the advantage of a separate phono stage is also: amps without phono stage tend to be better value. It's a questionable and generic statement but with some truth to it, as much as I've seen... | |

| What to try? there are about 60 Audio Research amplifiers on craigslist in the US. Craiglist tend to have much lower prices and of course, a lot more scam. No i/50 there, but at least 5 on hifishark. Seems like people hold onto them. | |
| Vintage turntable with a modern phono stage, is it worth it? There are lots of Jolinda tube phono stages on the used market. I don’t know why. They are definitely not entry level. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @thyname you obviously misunderstood what I wrote, and that's the kindest way I can put it. Don't try too hard, it might be too complicated for you. | |

| Revel F228be @soix +1 randomly suggesting brands may be more confusing than helpful. You know what you like, what you want to improve, replace your weakest link first. What's your source, room size, preferred music? | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? I think you are answering your own question: are there people out there who will pay more than the company thinks people will pay for its product? As long as diamonds and designer bags sell, men will pay for their own toys stupid sums. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @8th-note no doubt, lots of big spenders out there. I don't see a lot of new hifi stores in my town, but a lot of new record stores and I assume hifi stores will follow. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @mitch2 that's why some (more practical) definitions exclude the primary residence because you have to live somewhere. Audio-spending-wise, your salary and liquid assets will matter infinitely more than what your house is worth. | |
