To get an idea of the league these guys are playing in check out:
Cary SLP-05, US $7.5K.
Audio Research LS-17, US $4K.
Audio Research LS-26, US $6K.
And these are just _preamps_, for crying out loud.
Of course these are all balanced, US made, somewhat acceptable
tube preamps.
If you think computers are crazy, you should try audio.
But there is a market for this stuff and things even WAY more
expensive.
Crank up the sound.

My God! My first reaction is: "more money than brains", but that's
not fair; I, too, have my little obsessions. I loved the turntables
these guys have.
I'm surprised that vacuum tubes are still being manufactured! I know
people collect them from going to estate auctions.
All of that audio quality would be wasted on these old ears, anyway.
