| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? moto_man,Do not get disappointed if your attempt to instill appreciation for better sound does not work out to be all that you hoped for. I did something similar, even downgraded along the way to make it simpler, and the outcome has been...iPhone ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I was really asking and not having any opinion at that time. I do not have it now, either, but will slowly start thinking about it. Maybe I come up with something meaningful (pro or contra your statement), although do not hold your breath for that. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Could those two things really be compared in such a simple way? | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? It seems that many are dismayed, for lack of better description, that equipment loses value so fast. That is understandable to some extent. Tens of percent in a very short time may be hard to swallow. However, for most, this is a hobby. Unless you... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? These two posts above combined easily make an explanation for half of the used market, or market altogether, troubles. Add other distractions (computers, phones, etc.) and who is left to buy an amplifier that costs, used, as much as a quarter of a... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? An Audiogon buyer may not be exactly a Stereophile reader, but there must be some similarity. For whatever it is worth, 71% of Stereophile readers are planning to purchase audio equipment within next 12 months. They are planning to spend an averag... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? 60% does seem like a huge discount (for a few months old item), but if nobody wants to buy it, it is too expensive for some reason. If it were something I wanted, I would jump on it for sure, but 60% off of something I am not desperate for is just... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? "...equipment that is less than 4 months old not even getting a look in at 40% of new."It makes me wonder if such equipment was "overpriced" when new, but that is another topic for another thread. | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? pcrhkr,I am also puzzled who and why would buy used $400 000 speakers on a website like this, but it does not hurt that they exist here. On the other hand, not everything is in that stratosphere on Audiogon. There are amplifiers for $150 and a num... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? "Maybe everyone else is like me, too much gear and generally happy with their sound."Reading these posts, I doubt it is everyone, but at least there is two of us. It is interesting to see that people are actually buying and selling a lot (relative... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? I see that my approach of choosing cables based on looks is gaining some traction.Some signal will come from the beginning to the end, one way or another. Electrons moving along, or just rotating. Who cares, as long as it looks good. It is a cable... | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? If someone offers less than what we think the item we are selling is worth, keep it. Obviously, it is more worth to us than to the potential buyer. Why would those buyers offering less be talked bad about? They simply know what something is worth ... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? celander,Ok, I will stay out of that secret world for now. | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? celander,I am not kidding. Tell me the secret. | |
