The $20K Soulution Audio 330 Integrated Amp is a Bargain ?
To elaborate, each person will answer this question differently. Is a $20,000 amplifier a bargain?  If that’s the sound you need, then it is.

To add to the above list is a superb “Eroica” with Monteux and the Concertgebouw.I have a great sounding copy of the original LP but it’s also available on CD.
