Has the cost of HiFi gotten a bit too much?

For the higher price of gear i dont give a damn...Speakers may cost less than a tuna can soon....This global crisis is not ended... 😁

A war or hyperinflation is our choice now , what else? Is this not the evident proposed PROGRAMMED alternatives in the news?

I myself will not upgrade and dont need to....

Acoustic COST peanuts... Only much fun time to tune a room...

Then dont look at inflated price of gear buy an acoustic book and begin experiments... No cost... I used junk material myself...And my low cost system is not so far way behind ANYTHING at ANY price i ever listened to, thanks to acoustic science...The greatest HUGE upgrade come from learning acoustic method not from a new speakers or dac or anything else in most case....

And dont vote for left or right corrupted politicians....Dont listen TV and dont read official news...Buy books....

😁😊

"Wait until the United States starts writing checks for $trillions to rebuild Ukraine. We will contribute 90% to rebuild Ukraine. We should send a bill to Russia. Perhaps tell Russia we will lift some of the sanctions if they pay to rebuild. As I see it, what does Ukraine have left after their buildings have been destroyed? We will pay 90% of the cost and allow our allies to take complete advantage of us.

What do the citizens of Ukraine have left to live in? How many years will they have to wait until they have a place to live? I think we need to send Putin the bill. If he doesn’t respond with action, then enforce even more sanctions."

larry5729, I’ll raise you one on that. I think the Ukraine War is really a conspiracy concocted by the Kremlin and the Pentagon. Both need to use up aging weapons system inventory and create an excuse to justify even more military spending (well, the Pentagon does at any rate). Why not start a little war in Central Europe, and test out some new toys while we are at it?

Talk about rants. Jeez.

This thread is in the toilet.

When people resort to insults and labels  instead of argument , articles and reflexions it is not surprizing....

Please let me know if I can help you with the link feature they improved when Audiogon updated this site. IMO, linking long articles is a better option than loading up the thread pages with inserted articles. For example, here is a link to the Central Bank article you posted. Best regards.
