I was introduced to high-end stereo in early 1990 when I walked into Steve Jobs's office and nearly tripped over a "raw" driver sitting on the floor.
He said, "Careful. That costs $40,000."
If was from the latest and greatest Wilson Audio speakers that somebody was trying to sell Steve -- probably David Wilson himself.
I have no idea whether the driver actually cost $40,000. Steve had a penchant for hyperbole.Family Room, Innuos Statement streamer (Roon Core) with Morrow Audio USB cable to McIntosh MC 2700 pre with DC2 Digital Audio Module; AQ Sky XLRs to CAT 600.2 dualmono amp, Morrow Elite Speaker Cables to NOLA Baby Grand Reference Gold 3 speakers.
