Rok, that most certainly was not the type of person I was referring to, plus the most important factor would be the number of people purchasing $185K amps, plus the most expensive interconnects and wire, and you name it, to go with the rig. If you went further and queried the person I'm speaking of, he would know very little about the high end; but such people always remain ANONYMOUS. I saw a young man get berated, ( who was a born oligarch) because he was speaking out about family secrets. They didn't even want his name known. While being an oligarch is most certainly no crime, allowing politicians to use your wealth to manipulate markets, is most certainly a crime; politicians who are supposed to protect us from such, makes it even more of a crime.
Extreme audiophiles with the finances to afford such are not new, but if all of a sudden the entire high end manufacturing business seems to have changed, and so many new buyers that magazines are going "ultra high end", something is different.
I enjoyed that clip; although I would have tubes as opposed to SS if I had finances that would allow such; or maybe not, that's too much headache putting, and keeping it together.

Enjoy the music.
