לא בדיוק.

It’s not that high-priced high-end components can’t be worth every cent charged for them. Some are, and I’d argue the case for each of the reference components I’ve just listed. My point is that you can’t assume that, just because a product has a high price, it’s better than something that’s less expensive -- or even as good

הוא כן אומר שיש דברים שכן שווים את הכסף, ולפני הציטוט הקודם הביא את הרשימה ה"נוראה" הזו:
The components that make up my reference system are expensive: Rockport Technologies Arrakis loudspeakers ($165,000/pair), Boulder Amplifiers 2060 power amplifier ($44,000) and 1010 preamplifier ($14,000), and Weiss DAC202 D/A converter ($6670). I’ve done due diligence and determined to my satisfaction that these products, though expensive, are expertly engineered and manufactured, and perform better than the like-priced components I’ve compared them with.
