Yes I agree! And if you want to piece together that long gone old hi-fi system you had in the 70s or 80s, ...you can buy it again. Get that old Marantz receiver (change the caps) and the old Dual turntable and hook up some old Klipsch or Bose 901s and you are in hifi heaven again. You can also add a network music streamer and DAC to bring it into this century. Isn't life grand with the internet!
Thank Heavens For The Internet World Used/ Pre-Owned High End Audio Market!!!!
As a devoted audiophile from way back when, and definitely not one of our more well-heeled audiophiles, always looking to save a dollar or two, the single most and greatest blessing for me and audiophiles like me was the emergence of the "Internet" and online shopping. The internet gave us all access to a vast, marvelous worldwide marketplace of pre-owned high end audio gear that could be purchased in the comfort and convenience of our own homes while sitting on our couches using our own personal computers. What a godsend was the creation of all those wonderful used high end audio websites that emerged that gave us a virtual sea of new and used high end audio for purchase. Over the past over 20 years, I’ve purchased most all of my audio gear online, thereby saving literally thousands upon thousands of dollars off retail. Thanks to internet online high end audio shopping, I still believe in miracles!!!
