@freediver when I bought my Blue Circle amp (since sold and easily sold) a main criteria in choosing a new amp was just how many are seen on the used market.
So I could not agree more. Why are certain names more frequently seen for sale than others. It is not because so many were bought. It is because so many are for sale.
I just sold a Musical Fidelity Ñu-Vista 600. An animal not frequently seen on the used market. A very underrated product.
What is the most overlooked consideration?
What is the most overlooked consideration when buying a piece of audio gear? We all buy gear and we all have to make choices as to what component to get, what brand, etc. What is at the top of your criteria for choosing a piece and why? Synergy? reputation of brand ?hype your heard? it’s the best compliment to my system? warranty and service? I just wanted to try a cable? I only buy brands from the UK? Etc
So you can tell what’s at the top of your list but mostly I want you to share what you think is a much overlooked consideration and why?
For myself I often think customer service gets overlooked as being very important.
