| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? Ever wonder what happens to all the used gear being returned to dealers. They take trade-ins all the time and yet never seem to have anything available for sale used. It's a quandary. Maybe the manufacturers agree to take it back in some crazy f... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? OK maybe you’re right, I’ll change my answer to $25,000. And then it follows that there are so many $25,000 speakers that easily match a $50,000 speaker, which are mostly overpriced because they have a huge margin and are being bought by people w... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? To clarify, it's very very very difficult to decide which speakers to buy and then to decide which speaker within a manufacturers product line to buy. As far as spending more money, you don't need to spend a lot of money to get great sound from a... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? When it comes to buying speakers I think people tend to feel comfort about what they're buying when it cost more. If I put a $7000 speaker in front of you and a $20,000 speaker in front of you you'll probably say the $20,000 speaker sounds better ... | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? @x5owner1 Thank you for your comment but just because someone says it sounds good somehow that's supposed to influence me to buy it. that's the oldest marketing trick in the world I'm not sure how you can choose new speakers unless you can hear... | |
| Has buying and/or selling audio gear changed? Unless you can physically pick something up I would not buy used audio gear from anybody. Stretch and buy it new. I don't see very many good things on used anyway and you have no idea what the history is. It's no longer under warranty and God hel... | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system do things gradually so you can appreciate the changes. Why would you want to spend $100,000 and have like eight boxes of stuff and then you put them all together and maybe it’ll sound OK but you’ll never know what does what in terms of a contribut... | |
| Was 1971 the high point of popular music? It was 1972. Meatloaf was the last album during the mid 1970s bat out of hell, that made sense. And then everything fell apart. | |
| Why isn't better quality used gear being made available? Interesting comments. I guess if you're spending 30 or 40,000 on an amplifier they're probably aren't too many of them and when they do happen to appear in an ad they are discounted nicely sometimes. Instant gratification to buy something like th... | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? @mtbiker29 My guess is you're not posting this from A Federal prison so I would pick the second one. I hope you have good estate planning because your family will have a tough time deciding who gets it. Probably a lot tougher to deal with than ... | |
| Latest D'Agostino monoblock amps??? Don't Most people prefer Krell versus Dagostino | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? @sudnh You need to distinguish between the McIntosh tube amplifiers and solid-state amplifiers. The tube amplifiers are where they shine. The reliability plus the performance is what makes mcintosh tube amplifiers very desirable. Solid-state ... | |
| Where does music come from that streams? Is it possible that the streaming companies may be forced to choose from multiple pricing levels for what they get and in some cases they don't get the premium Quality Recording and pay for a cheaper recording and hope they can get away with it. | |
| Where does music come from that streams? So many versions exist on qobuz of the same album. Frankly I don't know what the record companies sent over. I don't care about the licensing. Tidal crops the top on the bottom of the frequency ranges to do their stupid Mqa crap. Sucks. I wish... | |
| Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195? @mtbiker29 Love your basement set up especially the rack and especially the table. Was this from a tree you cut down? |
