To clarify once more, it was about using the price as a determinate for classification of performance, and not the resulting sound. Look around; that's how it works in Head-Fi. Designations like mid-fi are solely based on price, where as in the world of high-performance audio the price is the last consideration as a descriptor of performance. For example, to those of us whose systems don't fit on desks, mid-fi is exemplified by the mass-market receivers sold at Best Buy. A LDIII is considered High-End, even though it only costs ~$300. Why, because its sound lies on another level compared to mid-fi equipment. Again, none of this is price-driven. The classifications of components are solely determined by their sound quality. BTW, High-End audio is not necessarily congruent with expensive audio, though it often is. It's the sound quality that determines the classification.
As this this the fourth time I had to explain this, please, pretty please, leave me out of your forthcoming comments. Seriously, enough is enough.
FWIW, the original post was not OT, as you assert, as it discussed amplifiers suitable for the K7XX. It's there for anyone to read. However, you just took the thread OT again. Please stop speaking for me.
I agree. Wouldn't it be nice if folks actually read the thread, understood the text, and were familiar with the culture of the forum before deciding to troll and attack someone? I think so.
I was accused of not caring about music. Hence, the pics. I also thought that some folks would get a kick out of seeing them. It had nothing to do with an asserted opinion. All this is on record and easy to digest, if one takes the time to actually read the discussion.
I have one of those, too. A 2TB filled with HD, DSD, and FLAC files. Would you like to see it? lol
