| Why so many amplifiers for sale? Mrtennis you are correct as that is one aspect of many that can result in selling. The others may be economic, just trying to better what you have or just plain curiosity. KT_88, yes we are at times a bunch of overindulging capitalists where more ... | |
| i want a dull, caramel colored cd player any ideas I want exciting, revealing, jaw dropping sound. Is that too much to ask? | |
| Why so many amplifiers for sale? TVAD, I thought it was an a foot & ankle thread, boy was I wrong. I'm just fooling with you. A few serious posts can stimulate a few more less serious answers and you & I just proved it. | |
| Why so many amplifiers for sale? Jayctoy, as we approach summer, sales do slow down. Audiogon's bread & butter is through sales and advertising. The forums are a by-product as well as a courtesy to its members. Without sales the forums may not exist at all since they generate... | |
| Why so many amplifiers for sale? Another prospective, I buy to try. I think many people are just curious about the differences in amplifiers, all amplifiers are not created equal. Change a preamp & you could find yourself looking for a new power amp for synergy, doen't mean t... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Cdc, thats very well said. I think there are alot of other excellent statements above & by the way things look on Agon, many are taking this advice. | |
| breaking in audio components Sometimes a dealership will loan out a demo which is probably the same one loaned for other customers & no doubt already broken in. I would then have to agree with Musicslug, that an informed dealership should know his products and the require... | |

| avoiding component purchase errors :part 2 Stevecham, total incompatibiliy, borderline insanity, definately a match made in (you know where), ok, what the hell I said it. | |
| avoiding component purchase errors :part 2 Mrtennis, human behavior is a very interesting topic & one only needs to look deeply into ones self to find possible answers. I think the subject you brought forth is unique & interesting and if you can get audiophiles to disclose the real... | |
| avoiding component purchase errors :part 2 Mrtennis thankyou for starting a thread & then providing all the answers, well almost. If buying & selling gear makes you happy, then do it. Every piece of gear I purchased gave me a thrill but some were more well received than others &... | |
| does a stereo system sound like live music ? Guidocorona, probably too many times. But that is just the way you are. Oops, I said it too. | |
| Does your system always sound good? I don't think there is a system that most audiophiles don't eventually start analyzing for the exception of Bryanhod's system. If we can get past that, the music becomes more enjoyable. If your looking for shortfalls, it won't be hard to find them... | |
| What price do you put on your gear? Newbee you are correct. It would be hard to be passionate about anything without the support of family & friends, how true!Elizabeth good job! It's refreshing to see an audiophile staying with one thing, at least till you can maximize its usef... |
