@chrisoshea I think you probably hit the nail on the head when you stated what you did about 28 year old newbies. That would certainly explain why so many of these titles are selling for multiples of what they were just a few months back...or even...

@millercarbon  Another non-sequitur....

Ok, so the fact that the title is no longer available, or is temporarily unavailable, guarantees it will now sell for multiples of the original price. This does not really make total sense to me, as the Miles Davis Milestones MFSL reissue was avai...

@millercarbon sorry, but I don’t think your reasoning explains the sudden rise in value of the particular albums that I mentioned in my prior post.  
Interesting development
Can anyone explain the sudden and significant increase in the desirability of a record like the MoFi release of Miles Davis Milestones, as an example. This release was available for years with seemingly little absorption, and yet we now see it sel...

@millercarbon  While your post explains some of the rise in value, it doesn't totally explain the considerable rise in value of the reissues, some of which I mention in my OP. Remember, some of these will be available again ( after repress) at pri... 
Finally, ultrasonic cleaning for the masses!
Looks like the humminguru may be a very good option! Certainly seems to be a better solution than a Kirmuss, which does not have a drying cycle! Only question is what the price will ultimately be in the US and when and if it will be truly availabl... 
New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet?
Nice review(s) Thanks for posting. Makes me want to hear the new EA3 even more. 
Black Cat power cables
@twoleftears  Chris tends to re-name his cables fairly frequently. The PC that I own is the Silverstar, although I believe it is now called the PC-1 cable. I also own a pair of Silverstar ic's...which are possibly one of a kind, as I suspect Chris... 
Props to Black Cat Cables
@jc51373  Chris has cables starting at just a few hundred dollars! His Coppertone line is the current entry level. Compared to many cables that are multiples of the Coppertone price, you will find that the Coppertone more than holds its own. Like ... 
Black Cat power cables
I went from a Synergistic Tungsten power cord to the Black Cat Silverstar power cord on my Rowland. Big improvement in resolution, nice increase in soundstage definition and depth and a noticeable improvement in the amps dynamics. Very impressed w... 
Sonus Faber owners--string grill cover alternatives
Placing the socks over the drivers may not be the best idea with the silk domes that some of the SF utilize. At least the string grills offer a little bit of protection, albeit not much. There is the other issue, it would be nice to have a grill t... 
Graceline cable from Black Cat cables
@wig  Great! I think you will be as impressed as I am. 
Do speakers choose your music preference
I think not only do speakers choose what sounds best on your system, but also your room does too! How many folks are going to be able to play Stadium size rock concerts in their tiny den with little speakers employing 4" drivers and do that music ... 
Accuphase pricing Japan vs. USA
With amps and other large heavy items coming from Japan, I can 'somewhat' understand the posts above explaining the pricing variations. Now let's talk about Japanese cartridges...hmmm.
