In Reply to: RE: Looking to S'phile's Rec. Comps. for help choosing preamps to audition/buy? posted by stehno on March 23, 2015 at 20:30:37:
First of all, thank you VERY much for the discs, John, I got them 2 days ago. I cannot wait to listen to them and give you some honest feedback.You wrote:
"Nobody drools over a $200 component. But post a picture of an $85,000 amp as somebody just did in the amp/preamp seciton of AA, and without ever hearing it, some enthusiasts are probably already reaching for their checkbook....But that is what the typical audio enthusiast craves. If that is true, I don't think it fair to put Stereophile or other mags on the hook for catering to the majority's cravings."
First of all, just how many folks on this enthusiast website could even consider an $85,000 amp? Precious few, that's how many. And I seriously doubt that the "typical" audio enthusiast craves an amp that costs as much as a VERY nice car - or even a decent home in some markets.Get real. $85K amps are the stuff of (unattainable) dreams, and nothing more. They look good on the cover of a magazine. Big deal. I'd even venture to guess that very few on this site have an entire system that costs $85K. The vast majority have systems costing $25K or less. And I'd also bet dollars to donuts that less than 1% of this site's readers could ever afford such an amp.
So let's try and keep it real, okay? Who loves ya, bubbe?! [g]
