That picture of the interior of a "modest" NAD M3 integrated brought to mind a picture of the inside of a very expensive Krell Cipher - $20,000 - that Serge recently posted in another thread . . . .

Looking at the pictures, which do you think should be the more expensive or more valuable of the two . . .?
I think if I paid $20K for the Krell and then looked inside - I'd probably croak - looks like about $500.00 worth of innards!
