Wait. You changed my statement to make your point. I said $3k vs $30k for a
preamp. A $3k preamp would be an expected part of a $10-15k stereo system.
I don't disagree that in the first several orders of magnitude in stereo prices, people can tell the difference (i.e. $100 vs. $1000 vs. $10,000). I'm just not so sure about the next step ($10,000 vs. $100,000).

Also, if you're going to invest in the electronics, you're absolutely stupid not to invest in the best surge suppressor/line conditioner you can afford. Those people in New York will be sad to find out that when the power comes back on, a lot of their electronics will have blown out. The service departments will be packed with people with dead computers, TV's and stereos from the surge - all which could have been avoided with a $100 (NOT $10) surge protector. NO, I don't work for a surge protector company, but have many many friends in "the business."

I'll have you know that my stereo system cost considerably more than $100. I am not a Philistine. But as of yet it has not passed the
$2000 mark, which was my original point.
