We’re often bombarded by the craziness of our high-end audio passion and for counting the shockingly amount of the greens while obtaining our main gears and accessories. I do agree. Its not the sanest thing in the world.

The passion, excitement and price scheme are not surprisingly quite similar.
Now; not everyone can affoard the legendary Pétrus 61. And even if you can, you must pray hard to get the real thing. Luckily, there are some very potent alternatives being quite affordable. Similarly to wine world, high-end audio also share their Latour à Pomerol, L’Église-Clinet, La Conseillante. You can get to sensual heaven’s gates without breaking the bank.
