Well, it's truly all relative. What's worth it to you is yours to call. The whole converters-are-overpriced line is Jim Williams, and it's true, sorta kinda. My Pacific Micro was $17,000 in the mid 90s and it's not overpriced at all to me. Then again it's class A discrete all the way. The Burl has design time and parts and all manner of expenses.

I'm a very inexpensive mastering guy so I'm not about to say price is more than fashion in many cases, but not all .... and it's all still relative to you. In these times everything is seeming a little more money than it used to, that's for sure!
