| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @ghasley Not sure where you are looking, but if it is on this site, there appears to be plenty of selection and 'inventory' available. While I totally agree with you that pricing is the number 1 determinant of how quickly something is going to sel... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @supertweak. Yours is the best post on this thread (and there are some great posts on this thread) that I have read and in my opinion, by a country mile!To say that I couldn’t agree with you more would be an understatement!I think you just summed ... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( While it may appear that the $10k/pair price point is ‘hot’ right now, somehow I doubt that holds true for used gear! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @clarinetmonster2 That is interesting. Not sure how you know this, but I have heard that the Magico A3 is currently back-ordered with a waiting list! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( @tutetibiimperes. That’s all good and correct, question is whether this also applies to HEA? Since a lot of the new gear is edging towards pricing that makes most of these new luxury cars pale in comparison! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( jimman2, I agree with you that pricing is always a factor. OTOH, I have been told by several a’phile friends who have posted gear for sale that the ’only’ way to sell these days, is to basically ’give away’ stuff. Not sure what they consider a ’gi... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( It certainly seems that the “rediscovery” of vinyl has helped with bringing the younger crowd into the hobby. The physical media is a great way for young people to discover music and to alert them to the pleasures of collecting music. The next big... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( The move away from HEA to Home Theater is nothing new....so I don't believe this explains the current market in the used HEA area. The Home Theater market is no easy street either...several brick and mortar companies that I know who moved away fro... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( Interesting post craigl59. I think Alon may have hit on a winning strategy. Even if he sells half of that number, then we are looking at close to $5M in sales. OTOH, I'm certain that there are a lot of manufacturer's and dealers who would prefer t... | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( Great post trelja. I still question the reason behind the more recent trend in the market...the one that has seemingly majorly softened the market for used HEA. Trying to sell some of the gear on portals like the one that I am typing on, has---at ... | |
| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! lewm, having heard the MP1 with a Ortofon A90, I guess it depends on what you call "no significant noise penalty"!Sweeping generalizations without having done the actual work to support them...oh, please!!! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( Some great replies so far. Particularly interesting points about the trends of the new generation. Personally, I very much hope that HEA will NOT be going the way that akaim8 states. OTOH, the one thing that does strike me as a MAJOR problem for H... | |
| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! Raul, you need to calm down a little.. :0(plus, it would probably help if you weren’t attempting to read into my post things that weren’t there. For instance, nowhere do I say that there are NO solid state phono stages that cannot work with flea o... | |
| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! I can think of no tube phono stages that will work well with a cartridge that has between 0.125 and 0.2 Mv of output. The age old argument has been that the less wire the less loss. IMHO, that is a bogus argument. What is lost by the necessity to ... | |
| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! Saw this release. Unfortunately the designers seem to be slow learners! This cartridge, like all of the other models in their upper ranges has basically zip for output! At some point, I am hopeful that the realization that this type of flea output... |
