Nope. It's not just you. I remember when the height of my ambitions in audiophillia was to own the IE8 and a D7000. Then the IE80 kinda sucked and the D7000 is EOL and overpriced. Not to mention the DAPs costing more than a carbon framed bike...

 
I remember the first time I encountered a $500 USD headphone. I was shocked. "Who in their right mind would spend that much on a headphone?" Then I saw a $1k USD headphone, and I thought "no way I'll ever buy one of those."
 
Little did I know...

Holy crap, an AK120?  Why does no one [repeatedly] tell us about such things?  Thanks for the heads up!

Is it just me? or does audio equiptment seem to get more and more unaffordable? 

It is not you, when I bought my first high end walkman back in the days, it cost a fortune at that time, 800 francs or 150$ maybe. At that time 1000 euros (or its equivalent) would have paid rent in a 2000sqm appartment in Paris

Might have. Not sure.

The sarcasm is strong with this one.

I try to avoid thinking about it.

Keep an eye on Dsnuts as the barometer guys (and gal).  We'll know it's really bad when he starts raving about giant-killer budget-fi gear that can be had for as little as triple-digit sums.

[size=medium]Dear drez, [/size]
 
[size=medium]I am replying to your post #11334. [/size]
 
[size=medium]You proposed that in the depicted environment the acoustics would be crap. I am sure that you have highly advanced understanding of the way how playback systems operate in acoustic environments of listening rooms. So, would you be so kind to share some of your observations and educate public and me in particularly why you feel in this situation the acoustics is crap? I am very interested to learn.[/size]

whose drez?

Someone must be really bored to make a sock account just to call drez out.
 
I'm assuming it's a sock account. The alternative (ie. proprietor of the site does searches for it everyday, sees it get mentioned, has to sign up) is just too pathetic.
 
Really tho, I love that whoever-it-is announces "I am replying to your post #11334" as if it wasn't obvious from quoting that post above in the first place.
