| Will China become the poor man’s dealer for high end audio? My current preference is tube amps. In my price range if I bought new, I suspect my best value would be in a Chinese amp based on previous experience and what I see out there. The manufacturers I would want to choose from would be less than the U.... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @kokakolia may depend what you value, but the Ruark wouldn't contend overall with KEF 107's for me. I think you're right that KEF is not the right brand example of not snobbery though I believe they still offer some current value contenders base... | |

I originally bought NAD M51 as DAC only (about $550 used) but tried as preamp and struggle to find something significantly better. New price ... | |

For the question as asked it would depend on if I'm trying to get best performance or a cool piece if history that still performs well. I think the value is almost always used for audio equipment, just how used do you go, and what you consider vi... |
