@falconquest At first I ordered the WOW1's because I thought I'd do nearfield listening. Then, I decided to move my audio to a bigger room (not that big, 450 sq ft) and changed to the SS6M's. You should know that if you order them, they could take...

@falconquest I'd be curious what you find or consider for a second pair. I am waiting on some Salk speakers that are going to take a long time to get to me, so I just jumped on a price dip for some Klipsch RP-600M speakers. But, there are some swe...

@erik_squires That's exactly right. I was reading a thread here on Agon, "Which Steely Dan recordings should I get?" Turns out, there are many different versions; some mastered this way, others mastered that way. Which one is the true one? No such...

@erik_squires I tried to head that off with the setup to my question. To me, there’s not much difference between audio and food. You think a salad is better with a bit of pepper? You in the mood for parmesan on your pizza? Your coffee needs more m...

@pindac Wonderful post. Very grounding. Thank you.Given the national headlines about this virus, I have to confess it feels insane to be talking about this stuff. It is so irrelevant and so fantastical. If I thought that talking about the virus or...

PS Audio has either figured out how to leap ahead of both new and used, or they're going to go broke. But, wow. Hard to beat. If you want their stuff.

@nonoise Me too. FWIW, this is not a post about over-trusting the stock market or spending one's retirement money on audio. It's just a post asking if people are seeing sales. This cigar is just a cigar.

And not replying to anyone in particular here, but I’m pretty sure all human beings should come equipped with tone controls. (At least, that’s what people would say to me if they thought out loud!)

@erik_squires I always love your answers.Good point about the gear. I'd heard that about Luxman."It’s not as if you are going to taint yourself or be arrested."LOL!I hear you about room acoustics, and I know there are ways of dealing with that tha...

@jfuquay Do you have any gear to trade in? They'd likely work with you.

@slimpikins5 Good points. And those who are closer to retirement have it tougher than those who have a couple decades to go. And the poor, the homeless -- well, there's no better time to help. 
Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician?
Yes, I definitely do not have a subpanel.Appreciate all the comments. For me, this is adding up to waiting. If I change my mind, I'll update. You're a generous group of people. I wish you health and as much happiness as possible.
