I know this is meant as a joke, but I have to say, it's incredibly hard to get proper audio equipment without paying idiot tax like crazy.
I want neither China crap, nor overengineered German CD shavers (those really exist, BTW), but just decent audio. If you look for reviews, everything under 2000€ is utter garbage, apparently, and you should be sterilized for even thinking about spending less than that. Or you go on Amazon and even a brick wall will have stellar reviews, because it sounds really awesome and even has Bluetooth!
Extremely frustrating. No middle ground.
A lot of audiophile gear is overpriced bs. See what audio engineers use for mixing/mastering. Ath, Sennheiser, etc. Good cans will cost you anywhere from $150 to $600 but anything for thousands of dollars is ridiculous.
