Billie MK3 Pre order and Price!!

I have the Billie “1.5”. I consider the 1 a beta. The 1.5 beta+ and the 2 as a release version. If they offered a trade up incentive, I would consider doing it. I should drop Itai a note. 

It's just price gouging. Move on. Read any in depth review of a $3K integrated from the last 3 years and see how the Billie measures up. It's not worth the novelty. Another example of limbic capitalism. 

All the best,
Nonoise

Limbic capitalism -- love that phrase. 

Want to buy new and can spend $3k? Perhaps try this wonderful maker:

when an amp is tube, are all expectations for any aesthetics out the window? Or the laws of aesthetics cease? I am curious, I am kind of a design nerd and always found it odd. There are exceptions like the always stunning Luxman so I am not sure
