Thank Heavens For The Internet World Used/ Pre-Owned High End Audio Market!!!!
As a kid  I bough a used HHScott integrated back in 1967 and off I go. I then progressed to an all Adcom system driving Snell C2 speakers all bought used including interconnects and speaker cables.  After decades of flawless use a few years ago I ...

Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?

Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts
The world is filled with A holes you run into them all your life these are just Audiogon a holes. The flip side of course are those folks with the knowledge and kindness to help in a non-judgmental way. As in life you take the good with the bad.  
I saw the back of an integrated and it depressed me.
To each his own as for me it is digital all the way. albums are too costly, to fragile, to much a hassle to maintain for the perceived sound benefit. Oh, I own the Technics SUG 700  and it is a nice piece of gear for sure.
