Stop using facts and logic. You should know better than to try and do that. ;)

And that is there right to pay what ever they want, even if others think they spent too much. Who are we to judge how they spend their own money?
I would't spend $120K on a car when a Honda or Toyota will get people to the same place just as...

No. In that case economics, competition, should resolve the issue. Who in their right mind would pay $3k more for something than they had to?
In Magico's case it wouldn't be apples to apples, you'd have to decide if their prodict is worth the...

Naim seems to be having an issue worldwide. Their decision to send a $27K kit to a very popular low-end reviewer here in the US was a spectacular failure and shows how out of touch they have become. Plus there is a lot of talk about their many,...

I may be the minority but I would for sure.
It's like the $20.00 beer at the ball park, either you buy it or not. Someone might call the pricing a rep off but I don't consider it a rip off as long as there is still a choice to buy it or not.

So resale price has nothing to do with supply and demand for that particular item or brand along with perceived value?
Let's take Ideon as an example. Are their resale values low because of it being a "rip off" or because no one really knows...

The garbage that passes for music today has certainly got worse, that's for sure. That's why the majority of my "mainstream" music listening dies out around the year 2005, and even that's pushing it. More like late 90's.

Same story here. I had Tidal for several years. When Qobuz became available, I got that as well and ran both side by side for about 6 months or so, maybe longer. After that, I dumped Tidal and kept Qobuz.
Not that MQA sounded horrible, but it...

All this information is readibly accessible at Lumin's web site; you can compare and contrast by reading the information there:

U2 and Specifications: LUMIN U2

Trigger pin configuration for any VAC equipment? They are probably all the same.

Thanks for sharing your observations Steve.
I don't care about MQA one way or the other so I don't have strong feelings.
My only experience is that I did have Tidal with MQA and find Qobuz Hi-Res to sound better to me in my opinion. The Qobuz...
