All show reports, except for a rare few, from all those covering the show -not just Dagogo – can be placed in the ” if you have to ask about the price you probably can’t afford it ” category. I understand the need to showcase the best of what a manufacturer has to offer. That the show venues cannot come close to what any of these systems will sound like in real homes is a given. Thus ” best sounding show systems” is gilding the lily. So for me show reports will be taken with a large lump of salt – about 100K’s worth…
Ostap,
God’s Peace,
Thank you for your comment. I can appreciate your perspective, as someone who was a budget audiophile for the majority of my life. If you research the gear shown in my report you will find it ranges across the price spectrum.
Blessings,
Douglas Schroeder
