. . . That would be $20,000 in modern dollars. Jim Austin or Mikey would call something with that kind of price "comparatively good value for money" these days
Nope, they wouldn't write "value," because to them, high price is its own reward. (I don't even know what that means, but it sounds good!).
What Jim Austin and Mikey would actually say is that a $20,000 component is "affordable."
Which is weird, because neither of them make enough money as trade press editors to be able to afford $20,000 DACs. Of course, when you get to buy gear at the "accomodation price" offered to reviewers, it becomes more "affordable," albeit at the expense of ethics.
