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

How insensitive!  I can't believe they had the nerve to publish a review by Art Dudley and not even acknowledge he died.  Or maybe the magazine was put together and completed well in advance of its shipping date.

Hail geoffkait! He just farted and blew them all away. He's getting a free pass to Disney Land China. 

Really, the timing doesn't mean much to me. Maybe they can sell that integrated in Denmark but a class D integrated for 39 large here when you could get a pair of JC 1+ and an ARC preamp for less? It will never sell here and I seriously doubt any dealer is going to commit that kind of money to put one on display.

As for the virus, it is a sad day when Americans forfeit their civil rights for a disease two clicks worse than a cold. 
I'm 66. I got myself exposed, had a minor cough and now I am totally immune and can not give the disease to anyone else. 

@mijostyn,

I am very happy for you to have beat the virus that is “two clicks worse than a cold”.  Could you please tell that to the wives of two of my dear friends who died from the virus with zero underlying conditions?  I’m sure It will be comforting for them to hear that from you.  

He probably just had a cold. Give me a break! Unless there was some projectile vomiting, obviously. 

mijostyn,

"I’m 66. I got myself exposed, had a minor cough and now I am totally immune and can not give the disease to anyone else."

A few assumptions too many in one sentence.

Be careful, "totally immune" at your age wanes in some cases.

Have you considered helping in the hospital taking care of infected people now? Rolling them over, deep cleaning the rooms, etc. Well, it is the topic on that other thread ("What can we do to help" or something like that), but just a suggestion.

Of course, that is all if you were referring to Covid-19.
