What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0(
Venture capitalist bought a lot of the high end companies.  They really are not audiophiles. Overpriced gear that doesn’t perform. Then there is a lack of knowledge on how to put systems together. Guy spends 50k on a rig then hears a 8 to 10k rig ...
