In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment

Except for some disapproving judgment implied by you I see no connection between the world’s economic events and Stereophile’s reviews of expensive audio equipment. Reviewing expensive audio equipment is Stereophile’s raison d’être in every economic environment.

So when is a good time to review $30K equipment?  

You’re giving me the headlines and I’m giving you the business. Everything’s topsy turvy. Me topsy, you turvy. Literally. 

I realize I haven’t kept up with every single thing but isn’t $30K considered entry level? 😬

WOW ! I might be new to this forum discussion but didn't a lot of us never thought that we would EVER be able to afford the gear we now treasure at home thank's to the grace of Audiogon & U.S. Audio Mart ! How did we hear about these products ? Stereophile , Absolute Sound and the like didn't we ? We all thought who would pay $200 for a .5 meter interconnect 30 years ago ? Now that may be in our systems ......and doesn't today's new technology filter down with time ! A computer use to cost thousand of dollars and now for $300 you can get a laptop better than one that cost $1,000 5 years ago ! Let's all take a chill pill during these stressful and trying times and reflect on how fortunate we all are ,pray for those in harm's way and sit back, stay calm and listen to music !
