| What is going on Jmcgrogan2, yes that is true, the seller can ask whatever they want, don't mean they will get it. Most rational thinkers will do their homework before making a purchase. How many times have you seen an older item selling for almost the new price, ... | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Hog-88, I think your Golden Dragon tube is going to outlive you.It is obvious that most of the folks here on this thread don't experience any hiss at all, therefore the handful that do must be cursed. | |
| how to fix ground loop him? Neither would I look into the ladies room to find the him, I mean the hum. | |
| What is going on Also I believe that Unsound is correct and the newbies also contribute to inflated prices by their own perceptions. | |
| What is going on Twb2 is correct,used gear generally sells for 50% of its new price. But lets keep its real, some of the asking prices I see on Audiogon lately are extremely inflated, as if the seller was trying to retire soon after the sale. Items that are famili... | |

| Why aren't new vacuum tubes as good as old ones? Anyone want to start a tube factory, I'll put up the funding if a couple of grand will get you started. | |
| Advent Model 300 tuner/receiver Very unique and cool looking piece. When I sold mine on Audiogon a few years back, buyers were having a feeding frenzy on who would buy it first. Even after selling it I received an email from member who wanted me to email the guy that purchased i... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Everything that has been said so far on cabling, "DITTO" | |
| What about the Belles SA-100? Love Belles amps, nice full presentation and they are very musical, definately different in a positive way from many other solid state amps I have heard. | |
| Upgradying Tube Preamp Dav65mus, I think you done very well for yourself with the Cary slp-05, excellent choice. I can tell you the Audible Illusions will sound much different, high definition leaning more towards very good solid state but much better in terms of transp... |
