RE: Wretched Excess from CH Precision

"During the COVID pandemic, many, often older, audiophiles found themselves locked up at home with very justified fears of catching a nasty, viral respiratory disease. Many audio enthusiasts made major investments in audio gear that took their systems to whole new stratospheric levels. We saw an unforeseen rise in popularity of gear made in Switzerland, such as Solution, CH Precision, Stenheim, and others. The prices for some of these components were higher than that of a modern AMG Mercedes yet they were selling like hotcakes and in some cases were on back order for more than a year. One staff member at Audio Research told me the pressure that the former Italian owners of the mighty, audiophile tube electronics company had to introduce more and more expensive gear. Uber-high-end audio was having its best success in the history of the hobby, with large volumes of ultra-level components coming to market."
