I picked up their T1953 tube preamp and showed it to a friend of mine who is _really_ into audio gear. I was saying I couldn't figure out how they could even make it for the price it sells for, never mind how they make a profit. He was saying a lot can be done with good engineering, but I said I still couldn't figure out how they could sell it for $200. He said "$200?? I thought this sold for $1000!"
