Is new Sony TA-A1ES ultimate made affordable ?

With lot's of cutting edge circuits, pseudo class A operation with only a single pair of output devices per channel(less=more), I feel this is a landmark product at $2k price. I am going to buy one in June. What ya think about Sony's return to High End ?

What does it sound like? Did you put it next to anything else that you know the sound of? I'm just curious.

"I have no idea how this unit will "sound". But, I am going to buy it as soon as I get the money."

That's crazy. Every company that comes out with a new product says its the best. Why not just listen to it first, then you'll know for sure?

"But I know what Sony can do. To the contrary, this is a very apt choice. It's a non-issue whether or not it's great, how great will be the surprise. Ever have that happen to you?"

Yes, several times. But when I bought the component and listened to it, the concrete that my opinion was cemented it softened up a bit.
