This subject of prices in High-End Audio is obviously endless. We can complain for years blaming the $80.000 for a pair of amplifiers, $42.000 for DACs, $29.000 for phonocorrector, 125.000 for pair of loudspeakers, $17.000 for CD transpor...

It's dead. Nobody cares about sound anymore. Esp. not about passive listening. The few music lovers left there, are usually immune to their systems, and lack the knowledge to build their own. Most high end audio is a fraud anyway. I agree with Earl c...

[quote user="drdna"] Oh no, after all, you haven't even said anything about how it sounds. I suspect that both the Avicenna and the PP2000 will be equally great. However, since you mentioned Dima was thinking of making this into a commercial product ...
