Unsound,

I have and still do. Can't mention the names, but may hedge a bet or two.
Six figure bonuses are about to be distributed to thousands of us.

I completely agree with your comments. I was only trying to offer some
perspective. Prices are on the rise. A modest sign of a healthy economy.
See ya on CNBC!
@Tom6897, I don't know that an economy with a hole in the middle is healthy, but I'm sure it looks that way from the top. The economy doesn't look too healthy from down here. Indicators can be misleading as figures lie and liars figure.
Once the .8 is established, the .5 will probably be discontinued. Once that happens prices for the .5 will drop and used Pass amps will be a relative bargain in the market considering the sonics, build quality and service.

Prices for new .5 product have not gone up in years. Performance of the .8 product is reportedly better, so they can ask for a price increase, and probably get it. Also, much of this stuff is going to Europe and the Far East where relative prices are even higher.
Yes, I can visualize that too. We'll see what happens...it's gonna be an interesting year. Higher in Europe and the Far East for *US* made equipment like Pass Labs. We pay much higher on imports from Europe and Japan.
In a conversation with Pass service a year ago they said 90% of their sales were outside the USA!

I do not see used Pass Labs XA.5 point 5's dropping very low.

There is a big demand for used XA.5's, not so much for X.5's.

They are already a relative good bargain used, now, IMO.

The X1 and XOno used prices have not changed in the last several years, and are now scarce.

People sell what they don't like, and keep what they like.
