Sound Advice: 'Cost no object' on audio gear?

RE: Sound Advice: 'Cost no object' on audio gear? Be careful!!!

I was reading my local paper today (Contra Costa Times, Walnut Creek, CA) and was very surprised to see the article headline saying "Sound Advice: 'Cost no object' on audio gear? Be careful”.

It was very interesting for me to read about a pre-amp and dual mono amplifiers selling for $123,000 in my local paper. The writer (Don Lindich at www.soundadviceblog.com) talks about other equipment combinations that represent excellent value and performance he suggests to bring out the absolute best for someones Polk Speakers. He also states "While I caution against overspending on amplifiers, quality amplification is an investment that should last for decades and this combo is well worth the money".

I have no comment on how much someone was spends on an audio system. I just wanted to share the article with everyone and to report that high end audio is alive and well in my local newspaper. SEE:

Much easier to find if you post a link.

Lucky Don Lindich! I'm guessing he gets paid to write stuff like this? So the best that he knows of is Pass Labs. The best, or the most expensive? He does not sound like he has much experience.

I'll bet he's never even heard the Pass Labs gear that he speaks of, let alone upper end gear from Vitus, Solution, Audio Note, Goldmund and others that are even more expensive than his Pass Labs "stunner". To each their own.

Cheers,
John
