Not quite. Some of the finishes are very good. For the most part (with some 
exceptions) sound quality I've been less impressed by. Personally I think 
anything with a TL0x in the audio path sucks by definition, but that's not 
a view that's widely held round here. ;-)

I do tend to think of this list as more a place where people discuss the 
restoration of antiques and the building of copies of antiques. This is 
fine if you want an authentic grandfather clock in your hall, but some of 
us do occasionally wonder what the audio equivalent of a GPS satellite 
network with built-in relativistic corrections would look and sound like.
