Agree totally with everything said and would add that the same goes for searching out interesting music. The internet has brought me Mongolian chant music, Indian sitar, Swedish metal, Iranian folk singers. Music in my own backyard here in Oregon I would have never known existed. I have always been able to get good gear but now my music collection can connect me to the world. I really appreciate that at night when I am listening to Mos Generator from France or DaiQuing Tana from China. My stereo has never brought me more joy.
Thank Heavens For The Internet World Used/ Pre-Owned High End Audio Market!!!!
As a devoted audiophile from way back when, and definitely not one of our more well-heeled audiophiles, always looking to save a dollar or two, the single most and greatest blessing for me and audiophiles like me was the emergence of the "Internet" and online shopping. The internet gave us all access to a vast, marvelous worldwide marketplace of pre-owned high end audio gear that could be purchased in the comfort and convenience of our own homes while sitting on our couches using our own personal computers. What a godsend was the creation of all those wonderful used high end audio websites that emerged that gave us a virtual sea of new and used high end audio for purchase. Over the past over 20 years, I’ve purchased most all of my audio gear online, thereby saving literally thousands upon thousands of dollars off retail. Thanks to internet online high end audio shopping, I still believe in miracles!!!

Thanks @baylinor for the interesting clarification. Nice to know that Mos Generator is based so close. I would venture to a show if possible. |
