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

Geoffkait, do you always fall for propaganda? Go to the CDC's web site for data. You should also note that the mortality rate from heart attacks and cancer have dropped dramatically. Headlines-Corona virus cures cancer and heart attacks! Hospitals are pigs. Everyone who dies in a hospital now dies from Corona virus. They think they can get more money this way. 
A 30K dollar integrated amp is a total non started regardless of any circumstance.

Are you out of your freaking mind? 🤪 

mijostyn,

While talking about hearts and Coronavirus that you have so far been lucky to survive, an echocardiogram may not be a bad idea.

You put the offal in one sock, thus avoiding the mess kit.  Simple puppy principle in action.

I'll never understand how some fall for the patently stupid propaganda. This is not some kind of flu. I remember when the naysayers were wetting themselves over the coverage and complaining about how the regular flu kills 40-70K people a year and only 38 have died so far. And that was around the month and a half mark. Look at it now and we're only in the 5th month.

When I had my surgery yesterday, one of the nurses told me a friend of hers was on vacation, skiing in Italy when it all started, and he caught the virus over there. He went through the pneumonia stages and survived that and now he's experiencing the minor blood clotting and has to have some of his fingers amputated. 

It attacks most of your organs, not just the lungs. It hits people in different ways. One patient back east went through eight blood transfusions as it kept destroying all his red blood cells.

Some people who have survived need two different types of inhalers to keep breathing. One is a healthy, 33 year old journalist who used to jog regularly. Just last week it was floated that this may end up being endemic like HIV and be with us forever. 

All the best,
Nonoise
