solid state integrateds that will hold their value


I HATE losing a lot of $$$ when the bug hits me to try something new so I like to purchase gear that is not only reliable but holds its value well long term (and of course sounds good!).

Two on my short list are:

Jeff Rowland Concentra I or II
YBA Passion

Mac's also seem to remain pretty stable in pricing but i have actually never HEARD one. Comments/comparisons of sound etc welcome.

Thanks

Jeff

Mcintosh holds it's value. You need to buy used. My current integrated, still in production, cost me less than 50% of MSRP- it's was bought used. I am sure I could sell,it for what I paid.

This hobby need not cost money if you buy used and buy well. By buying well, I mean- excellent cosmetic shape, works properly, original box and manual. So long as you spend in the 50-60 % MSRP range you won't take a bath if you sell.
