In the middle of a pandemic, Stereophile reviews ~ $30K equipment

Yeah, this was probably reviewed and written before the crisis. That said, when things are bleak, sometimes it’s fun to dream. You know… fantasy, escape, stuff like that.

Regardless of the reason, I have no problem with the timing of the piece.

I don't have a problem with it. Were you planning on spending 30k on a new system right before the pandemic made you rethink your decision?

Awesome that some bright entrepreneurs are exploiting the wealthy. It's covert redistribution and revolution in one.

And so?

Anyone that would spend that kind of money on any single component is a fool in my opinion....30k? Really....what the hell is it made of, Gold? I bet you could find something along the lines of 2500-5k that sounds just as nice...people are dumb asses...
