RE: To me, the phrase 'reasonably priced'

"works off of the assumption that the 'absolute sound' is only available for nearly (or maybe more) a million dollars."


This assumption is a huge joke. The absolute sound is available today for under $10,000, given suitable recordings. It is unavailable at any price with the majority of recordings.

IMO, if one is a music lover with a spare million one would do better to donate it to a symphony orchestra or otherwise sponsor the arts. One would be doing something socially useful, so there would be some rational basis for the momentary ego satisfaction. Also, one would be likely to gain much more social status and in a socially more elevated stratum that that frequented by most audiophiles.
