In Reply to: price of the ultra high end ,,,,,,, 25 years ago to now posted by trioderob on March 1, 2023 at 15:53:26:
is of no concern to me, nor should it be to you. You can spend high 5 and into 6 figures for a preamp. But can you do better than a Benchmark LA4?
Can you do better than a pair of big Sound Labs electrostats - granted they aren't cheap but they don't command "ultra high end" prices.
"Ultra high end" goods are meant for people with money and little sense of value.
