Why so many AQ Hurricane PC's for sale?
There must be 15-20 for sale on USAM alone, that seems kinda high. Is there something about them? Are they highly system dependant? I am browsing a good cable to feed a Power conditioner I have on order and saw so many of them for sale while searching.

I recently sold a couple of Hurricane power cords and interconnects on USAM because I was upgrading, and because I was going back to the OEM cords on the Vandersteen speakers and amp. They were authentic, original box, invoices, etc And if anybody needs the 20-amp/15-amp versions, I’ve still got a pair. |
@marco1 Good to know. Yes they're balanced, NAT Audio Magma M monos coming from NAT Audio Symmetrical Balanced Line Stage. |
Between AQ and its dealer network, they heavily market their product, which makes for large sales numbers that in turn create larger returns, or dissatisfied customers. I suspect, though, percentage-wise, no more than some small companies' returns or customers, not getting the performance they hoped for. I see quite a few Wilson Speakers on the used market. Just look at this photo of Sasha's from Precision Audio in Chicago, just a couple of miles from me. I can only imagine what the larger East/West Coast markets must have on the secondary market. |
Years ago, I purchased, what I thought was a great deal on new Monster Copper headphones on Craigslist, only to find that I was scammed. One channel almost immediately stopped working. When a dealer looked at it, and we compared every possible difference with an authorized, legit pair down to the bag it came in, the security, impossible-to-forge sticker, all corners of the box? There was no difference, nothing. Best theory from Monster was that they were rejects from the factory that made them for Monster which were probably surreptitiously stolen and resold to suckers like me |
