Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ???

Can any audio veteran point to any components that are worth more today than their original retail prices, except for tubes and perhaps the Marantz 10B tuner?

I'm serious here...not a backhanded dig at the investment issue.

Our 1978 Klipschorns retailed for just under $1600/pr, and are now worth around $2-2200. I think putting some cash into GE stock would have offered a slightly better rate of return, but no cowbell.

Something I read once in the Seattle newspaper: if you had purchased a home on Capitol Hill (a pricey neighborhood in Seattle) when they cost $1000, you'd be a millionaire. Well, actually you'd be dead. Your descendants, on the other hand...

My Ludwig Blue Vistalite Big Beat drums, purchased in 1977 for $700, I believe, are worth about double today...cowbell included.

MORE cowbell baby !

Money, money, money. Hey, there are things more important than money. How about having a big DK?
