Does this translate?


In the current issue of Stereophile magazine ( June) is a write up of the new Aavik U-380. This piece of gear is a DAC, amp and phono stage. The amp is a Class D design. The reviewer is Jason Victor Serinus who concludes his review with this statement: "if I haven't convinced you of the U-380's worth by now, perhaps it's back to Fuller I should go"

Now here's the thing, this piece of gear is priced at $39,000-!!
So two questions...does this piece translate to $39,000- worth of electronics, ( i say no way) and secondly...should JVS go back to Fuller? ( I say yes...lol).
What say you?

I read that article in the mag and my first thought was that JVS was doing his best to convince himself that this was worth the price so he could give it the usual Stereophile recommendation. Nice knob, though.
@daveyf  In fairness, they only "review" equipment that has already passed the 'audition' to get into the magazine in the first place.
