Jesus christ. I guess Audiophiles must be one dedicated bunch to think they could get away with that 1.2k pricing.

Audiophiles are the kind of moron that will pay hundreds of dollars for 'top of the line' hdmi cables that do the exact same thing as one that costs $12 with no discernable difference from their expensive counterpart.  As it stands they will spend thousands of dollars on a tube amp just for their vinyl collection, so $1.2k isn't exactly unreasonable for idiots like them.

Haha, well, you're mostly right...and I'm saying this as someone who is in sound post. The so called audiophile gear is just plain silliness, since pro gear is what we make actual sound/music on, and it's usually not on par with high end audiophile gear. But as long as there is market for that, there will be brands making such gear.
