Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?

I was alluding to an EVIDENT trend  in inflation not to a specific date....

By the way thanks for your more than generous appreciation of me....

I always enjoy reading your posts..please enlighten though. By what date will something happen that causes what to happen? I enjoy circling a date certain on the calendar to ensure I’m paying attention.

@nonoise did you finally get that Technics SU700M2.....? what ever it is?

I agree this thread is all pugnacious gas

 I'm so glad that I've been listening to my new integrated break in on it's first day than to read the drivel in this thread. You guys should get into some hobby, like audio.

By the way i try to not classify all people in a thread in the same bag...It is better to let bags empty and try to understand each other on INDIVIDUAL terms....

There is not ONLY " drivel in this thread", sorry....The only reason why someone can say this is because he does not know what a mirror was created for...Not to admire our own face but to look in our eyes what we cannot see in the eyes of others...The beam and the straw...

i have never see or read an entire thread constituted by dodderers or drools only.. there is different people NEVER only dodderers ...I prefer to speak to ONE individual and not declared all people in a thread only dodderers ....

The only dodderers are those who confuse their map with reality...

Listening to others perspective and discussing sincerely is important, discussing with pugnacious quality is OK if we treat each other well... ...

I apologize but i feel that i had to say that...

I'm just speculating, but is their a positive correlation between those who use and believe in audio tweaks and those who believe in vast worldwide conspiracies?  One rabbit hole is as good as the next, I guess?

I'm currently streaming an absolutely lovely performance of a Mendelssohn quintet performed by the l'Archibudelli String Ensemble. On Idagio. I haven't a care in the world.
