Hm. On rereading my last post, I came across as both a snob
and a reverse snob at the same time. Quite some feat.

What I meant to say is, there's some very expensive equipment out
there, that I would be very happy to own, but unless my financial
circumstances were to change quite dramatically, I could never
justify spending that kind of money on a stereo.

(When I bought a so-called "entry level" headphone amp, that
qualified as high end equipment based on my limited experiences.)
