I remember not so long ago when these things were the hot ticket item, touted by all the reviewers as the next-big-thing, giant-killer, blah blah blah. Once again, all of the hype proves to be just that, and now I count literally hundreds of them for sale. So what's the deal? Nobody likes amplifiers anymore? Moving onto some other world beater of a component, I suppose? Go on, tell me it's just because so many of them were sold, hence the vast sea of available product on the used marketplace. I don't buy it. Just like everything else, they've come and gone. Their fifteen minutes of fame are now over. CD players, too. Have you seen how many of those are up for sale? Tossed into the classifieds like a weathered mistress. I knew it was coming, and that's why I've been sticking to singing in the shower. None of this fly-by-night hobby plunging for me. I'm much too smart to get caught up in that.
And by the way, am I still in business? I've been e-mailing myself all week, and get no response.
Naw, I'm one of those guys you see walking down the street listening to my tunes through my cell phone while my shadow is going through all kinds of modern dance gyrations cuz' in my dreams I can dance like that, too!
Have you tried sending in a ferret after Mingus? That won't be mis-tracking dad will be hearing!
On a related note, there sure a lot of Day Sequerra Model 1 Tuners for sale on Audiogon and ebay as of late. It may be that they want to sell them so they can buy the new models - the top of the line one is $7500.....
It's just all part of this hobby. I've probably at least 100 amplifiers of various types and sizes in the 30 plus years I've been an audiophile. A year or so ago I decided to simplify things so now all I look at is integrated amps and they must have a remote volume; really narrows things down. Who knows; maybe someday I'll decide to go back to separates again and you'll see my integrated amps up for sale on Audiogon.
