"hard relationship between price and quality" - sure there is. It's just that there are RARE exceptions.

Issue with Musical Fidelity though is that its products are very mediocre, very far from the top performers in pretty much any price range. This is based on my first-hand experience with 2 different pieces, and reading various sources.

Regarding Sam Tellig - based on his history (Triangle etc.), I wouldn't pay any attention to anything he feels stimulated enough to proclaim the next best thing.

If we're to speak about relation between price and quality, or lack thereof - there's one area where I would agree with you wholeheartedly, and that's being Rye Whiskeys. Based on my first-hand experience, here are some rankings and corresponding prices:

- High West Rendezvous Rye. Rank: Exceptional, Price: $48.
- Whistlepig. Rank: Mediocre, Price: $60.
- George Dickel Rye. Rank: Very good to Exceptional, Price: $25.
- Ravenswood Rye. Rank: Garbage, Price: $40.
- Russel's Reserve. Rank: OK to good, Price: $40.
