Actually, the Cdn dollar is doing better against the U.S. than it has in 20 years. It would be a perfect time for us Canucks to buy stuff but the price on this equipment is a bit steep. I guess if you have plenty of cash it is not, but I have to say that there has to be a law of diminishing returns applied here. Also, the Linn is $10,000 U.S. and the sound quality was not mentioned even though there was a demo provided (although Paul Simons DVD-A disc was not the best choice). All that was mentioned was the ability to recognize the discs. Well, my 45a does this flawlessly and if this is the big selling feature it doesn't do it for me. Damn, I wasn't going to get on the soapbox again. I will get off now.
