Solid discussion on value to cost factor in audio products.
If I could easily afford a $300,000 thousand Ferrari I would not hesitate to take the plunge. Not because I'm an ego driven hedonist, but simply for the joy of the experience. A Ferrari epitomizes artistic automotive beauty intertwined with sheer visceral sensation of the driving experience.
The same could be said by Hi-Fi man magnetic planar high end head phones.
I'm eager for the next episode.
