Thanks for the responses.
My own answer was the price doesn't matter considering the pleasure I get.
All I just think about is, how did I get so lucky. Finally a have a truly fantasticrig. That though happens everytime I listen. I am not kidding .
It took me 6-7 years to piece it together. My other audio was well into the 29 year mark. I was introduced to the term High end.
I just couldn't find the right combination of gear. Some amps were more costly. I tried vintage amps from every era and spent thousands. I laughed at a cable being mportant.
Around the same time as I was getting the new amps. I "downgraded" to the little miracle preamp an AES-3.
Old pal Trelja nailed it when he says you must get tube power amps.
I really don't think well this cost xx dollars and what I could sell it for now.
Lets face it the crappy synergy I kept getting wasn't worth a penny. So it's value was nothing.
I never bought stuff just to sell it . Making money through buying and selling audio is not my idea of a good time.
All of this stuff I say is cheap but only comparitively so.
I happen to collect tubes almost as a different hobby. I will either give them away or get what they are worth I liked them enough to collect them so I don't find pleasure in the profit , if I make one at all a pleasure. Sometimes people ask me for something specific or I do a little advertising within our audio group. People break your stones for such trivial matters and always seem to assume you are out to rip them off. Please!.
One poster said it pays for itself immediatley if you really like it.
I don't care about resale value of these amps I have no plan to sell them. The amps were inexpensive, so if the thought crosses my mind at all.
I think is Wow. Nirvana for such a low price.
One problem is as I said. Is I hate selling but must sell some gear.
Even I think it is insane to have so much stuff doing nothing. I try to sell as quick as possible and take a beating. I just can't take all the nit picking people do .
