Another audio dealer closes his shop

People go into the hi end audio business with their hearts, not their heads. I am thankful for that in I don't think we would have some of the great products today if the 'head' prevailed. The Chinese have in many ways given the business a new lease on life, driving down costs of both parts and finished products. Yes, I can't wait to buy my first Chinese automobile here in the States. Of course it will be ordered on the internet and delivered to my door by UPS. No bricks and mortar needed. I will be so thankful that I don't need to visit a 'dealership', where you are always subjected to one of the most unpleasant sales experiences of life.

Elizabeth,

In the audiophile world an entry pre-amp would be about 1000.00. If you are talking mass market then 200.00 would suffice.

Now we’re arguing about entry level? :-) Entry level is wherever you can afford to enter. And as long as we’re on the subject, "high end" is any audio system that presents the music in such a compelling way that, like live music, it can capture and hold one’s undivided attention. IMHO.

'High-End' means obscene prices. Period! That's all folks! 'Entry-Level' is just not so obscene. Just run of the mill outrageous.

Cheers
