Vacuum tubes? where do you see a vacuum tube in the audiophile desktop?
So you're saying that is better to pay 1000 for a crap pcb and parts with great looks than for high quality pcb and parts with a great enclosure? I don't get your point.
This has been discussed 100000000000000 times before here, Headroom products don't have such a great Price/performance ratio as say DIY. Headroom is a business. I personally don't buy their products because I prefer to DIY, but if I didn't they would be on the top of my choices. And using 0.1 resistors, and good opamps and parts overall IS good for audio.
I don't know of your audio or electronics experience but coming here with just a few posts and starting to talk trash about a company's products doesn't look good...
oh, and what does the accuracy of a resistor have to do with it's level of resistance(whatever that is...)...
