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!!!
*L* "Something old, something new....something borrowed, something blue...." Yess, that premise has played into and within my audiology for awhile. ;) Not sure 'bout the 'blue'....but I'll get back to you..... I'd thank some entity for this, but have considerable trouble believing in one that would take credit or the blame for all of This......esp. mine, as minuscule as that may be in the 'bigger scale of Thangs.'..... ...seems a waste....but so is most of the universe....imho.....;) |
@kennymacc Great post ... thank you for sharing! |
👍 On a side note @jmalen123, MOS generator is from Washington state, not France. They are very big in Europe and issued some albums in France hence your confusion. |
As a kid I bough a used HHScott integrated back in 1967 and off I go. I then progressed to an all Adcom system driving Snell C2 speakers all bought used including interconnects and speaker cables. After decades of flawless use a few years ago I sold that system which funded used from locals, a Technics SUG 700 integrated amp and Canton 9k reference speakers.I purchased a new Marantz CD6007 cd player,and since I saved well over 3 grand going used I bought 2 new SVS SB 1000 pro subs to support the Canton speakers. Currently I'm looking for a streamer but in no hurry as I am buying up CDs for a buck each at my local goodwill store all amazing quality.
