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

Many criticize the Romans for their decay and use their extravagant spending as a reason for their "fall". Might future historians use the above mentioned article to prove such theories about the fall of our own country? The barbarians are at the gate but my audio system is isolated and so am I. Never felt them coming.

The circus can take many forms. Bread is just bread.

Stereophile has a ''recomended component issue,with a $100,000 turntable(tonearm not included).  Really?

This review was certainly planned well before the crisis unfolded late February in the states.

-If it was not I personally do not read reviews of sub $1,000 gear with much interest.
-No I'm not buying a $30k amp or $32k standmounts either.
But those standmounts happen to be the best sounding speaker
I've ever heard. They were powered by this AAvik Amp

-Learning how Borressen made his Class D amp hold on in high frequencies was also something I was very interested in.
This Class D failing is what is holding back general acceptance.

Borressen is in the running as my "Most Admired" designer.

While at this years Florida Audio Expo; I listened to the class "A" Aavik 300 watt amps driving Borresen speakers.  In my opinion; it was one of the better systems/rooms.  I don't have an issue with magazines pushing unobtanium products. 

best,
