Ok just guesstimation only! Your mileage may differ!😊Not final in view.

Note: manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) is the price that a product's manufacturer recommends it be sold for at point of sale. The MSRP is also referred to as the list price by some retailers preferable at your locality, so as make a price reference. Every retail product can have an MSRP, though they are frequently used with automobiles. Other higher-priced goods, such as appliances and electronics, also have an MSRP as well.

Google search is your best pal.😊

A place like Head Fi where I can come and get first hand impressions from people who have heard gear I'm interested is my best pal. I take it you haven't heard it?

Anyway does it matter?
Yes, it matters a lot. If I am reading a book called "The Joy of Sex." It's relevant to know if the author is a virgin.
