Sorry, Adam. That's not the point.

If you want quality and the finer things, you pay for it.

This applies to things like cameras, like Leica.

To audio, like my Krell, Audio Research amps and SME tonearms.

And to cars like Porche,  BMW or a Corvette.

After all it's only a car or a camera or whatever.

It all depends on where your interests are.

Regards,
Len
