Thank you for the perspective. It's interesting that the general public (or
perhaps the audio public) can develop an idea that designing and building
integrated circuits is a cheap and easy process.

It makes me wonder why any of them would see the $350k Wavac amplifier as
special.

I have found that with most things quality tends to rise with price to a
point. Above that point things get needlessly complex and the quality and
performance suffers. I can't see how this would be any different!

You are missing the point. This amp is seriously bad. To say that
quality or performance of this amp suffers is like saying a car that can
only get up to 25 mph has performance that suffers, despite a $1 million
price-tag.
