Whats on your turntable tonight?

@slaw 

I know you do 👍🏼
You know what’s really crazy? They (HIFIHeaven) did the same thing when I bought my Zephyr MKIII high output cart, and got that brand new for a demo price. So, for both the MKIII and MIMC I’ll have spent $2,275. List price $3,499 new. Crazy.

Crazy good!

You know what i think is going on .
I think some resellers do not mind making less money on that high priced stuff, but the manufacturers (Soundsmith in this case), usually set a minimum price that the reseller is allowed to sell at for a New product,. Otherwise some of the resellers would be happy to sell for less profit and it would turn into them cutting each others throat , so to speak
They (manufacturers) also do this to keep the value up on their products.

So in order to sell at less of a profit , they(reseller) just say that it is a "Demo". to skirt around the Rules. 😁
Great for the customer or end user or US peoples !
