Definitely seems that way from here, too.  Although I will admit my best 'tube audio' gear is a Dynaco preamp and a Harmon-Kardon integrated amp that I got from thrift shops.  But that's a popular channel for my classic computer items as well.  

Either category of equipment is extremely expensive through 'retail' channels, but 'retail' is for people like Paul Allen, and for those who make their money bilking people with too much disposable income that way.
