Jmcgrogan2, I think you are right about the declining audiophile pool, I have this impression too, at least people keep more to themselves. Whenever I read or participate in a discussion here, there are few active participants, it used to be different. And I remember more challenging economic times when prices were relatively higher and good pieces got bought quickly. Still, it's summer time, we'll see.
Whatever it is, I don't like it, even concerned. I might be able to save thousand dollars on my next purchase, but if it continues the outcome will not look good at all.
