Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??

For some people I suspect light use means they didn't prop their car up on their monoblocks while changing a tire. There are those who have systems in vacation homes, some who have very little free time ( more money than time), and those who don't listen much because their system doesn't engage the listener.
For the most part, I would expect a really good sounding piece to be listed as "heavy, heavy, use-- it sounds so good I can't turn it off." Be forewarned, if I sell a piece as lightly used, you don't want it.

I love the sellers trying to unload a CD player (yeah, a CD player) that they paid like $20,000 for a few years ago for $12,000.  WOW.  Try $2,000 maybe.  Who is buying these CD players that cost as much as a car???

Take almost ANY decent DAC around $2,000-$4,000 range with good hi-rez 24/96k or 24/192k files and listen to it DESTROY that CD player ALL DAY LONG and twice on Sunday.

This is the reason that many hi-end stores stopped even carrying them and hi-end manufacturers stop making CD player at all.  Wadia (one of the "leaders" in digital according to many), stopped making CD players alltogether, as well as many others.

My local hi-end dealer says they are taking LINN DS units under $3,000 and going head-to-head with $10,000+ CD players all the time.

The beaten up, heavily used stuff is sold on EBay.
