In North America things usually tend to be priced to exactly what they worth. I will be very, very, very..... surprise if this 990 processor even comes close to the Lexicon MC-1 (taking into account the age of the MC-1) as pretended in this review. Expect the Outlaw 990 to sound exactly like an $1100 processor nothing more.
One thing you failed to realize is that when buying equipment traditionally you have a lot of overhead to pay for including salesmen’s salaries, rent for the shop you buy from, profit on the equipment that the shop expects to make and many other things. To give you some credit the Outlaw is worth what it is priced, but anything you buy from a second party is worth what it is priced minus everything listed above. Also the curve for pricing on audio gear in respects to performance is by no means a linear, but rather exponential in nature (depends on the buyer how exponential this curve is).
