Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced

For sale. 8 Herbies Big Fat Dots.

hi timrhu:

i don't believe in crap shoots, so i try not to buy equipment without hearing it first.

secondly i stated an economic principle, i.e., the value in use = the value in exchange.

this means a person will not pay more for an item than he thinks it is worth.

in my case, no component is worth more than $10,000.

thus as far as i am concerned, since i do not buy withiut listening, the question posed in this thread is rhetorical, for me.

I use Bybee and Shakti and some other quantum tweaks and they are all very effective.

Unless you use these items in your system your opinions are merely opinions. I prefer facts to opinions.

Rolex are high-quality mass-produced watches and are priced like mass-produced watches. I believe their entry-level stainless is $6500 and you don't buy great watches for that amount of money. OTOH, they are often available pre-owned from Rolex dealers for half price or less, in which case, they are a somewhat sensible purchase, as they will last a lifetime.
