I bought set of back up tubes for my amplifier. Within couple of months I decided to make an upgrade. Traded in the amp for another one and sold the tubes having less than 100hrs of use. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction.
"Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"????
I'm constantly baffled and confused by the number of ads I read that say the item for sale has barely been used.
I try not to be distrustful, but I feel like you're either in this hobby or you're not. There's nothing more fun than the anticipation of a new piece of gear and what it might do to your system!
If you have a piece of equipment, why wouldn't you set it up and give it a couple of months. We all know that it takes awhile for the item to break in, or for your ears to adjust.
Dealers aside, why would anyone in this hobby own something that has less than 100 hours on it?
