RE: Spending $6K to $8K for amp/pre-amp and speakers

"I believe in America. I don't want to go overseas for my labor.

....always trying to tell others what to do and how to do it... and how you and your way are always best.... "

Well NO.
I don't tell others how to do it, but at least I don't go ignorantly raving about the Chinese doing nothing right, when you are using their Iphones, cameras, computers, and internet routers for just about everything that is written here.

It's called CHOICE.
The right to buy whatever you think is the best value for money, and the USA is certainly NOT that.

Just STOP for a minute and put your brain in gear.
You DON'T believe in America, because you asked some giant in Asia to make it cheaper for you, because you are patently unable to make at that price in the USA.
This is called being in denial.

Job's company Apple which is the richest one in the USA can tell you that NOW, which is why it's so big.
They don't make any of their I-stuff in the USA, but a friend of mine designs their chips, for them to make them in PRC.

Everything has a price.

The world is an international place, which again is PRECISELY the reason why I bought 2 old valve amps in the USA, then mucked around with them to make a really good system from all they could do with the "pearls in the muck" which was to use them for PA work.

I am being nice to you, despite the constant attempts to attack me personally.
What appears to be a REAL worry on your part,is that I can undermine the more lunatic audiophile fringe with 500USD of kit, just like I can undermine the DAC lunatics spending 1000s of USD on convertors with a good second hand semi professional 50 USD DAT machine to use as a DAC.

I pointed out you were wrong, and refuse to listen.
I can't alter this behaviour, because I can see the vested interests of all concerned.

It's exactly this unscientific bollox that turns me off about the whole "hi end" audiophool world.
