Price No Object Amps


Just posting for human interest/curiosity purposes. I wouldn't suppose anyone on AGON has one of these, however, from a sonic performance perspective, which would you choose?

Probably the Ongaku, with the FM Acoustics as a backup in case of tube failure.
Still, those are freightening amounts of dead Washingtons, even to hardcore audiophiles. Besides, you would really need big and well-tuned room to make full use of, say, half a million dollar system.
However, $5 for a cup of good coffee in Manhattan is not fun either, and some have three every day. Do the math, how much would they spend for 25 years?
I can think of a few amps costing a lot less that actually sound better; in two cases having heard them side by side (although that was a few years ago).

And it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s one of yours :)

We are not talking about better or worse or even different sounding amps. We are talking about ridiculous prices and prices beyond the ridiculous.
