What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right.

There are Lamm hybrid monos, Rowland 8T, YBA Passion Integre and Lavardin integrateds, Dynaudio Contour and Confidence speakers,and that's only what I took a look at.
Too many choices, too much hesitation, no funds, not in the mood, summer time ?

And before anyone ask me.  Yes, the 23.5 is a better amp than the ML3.  Even though I upgraded the ML3 with much better, more linear output transistors (this amp sounds way better now).  I want to keep the ML3, because it is really nice, vintage (upgraded), is extremely well designed and built and I really like it. 

I'm keeping the other 23.5. 

yeah, yeah, I know. I have lots of equipment.  I'm working on that.

You should see the really vintage receivers and equipment that I have and have restored.  You know, the old 70s Sansui, Pioneer or Marantz receivers with wood grain panels.  For what they are, with the right speakers, they look and sound great.

My daughter is now into vintage equipment. I'm finding out that many 20 something kids are into vintage equipment also.  Interesting and fun.

When you officialy make an offer and the offer is accepted, you have to buy, you are bound by the rules. Sure, you could make certain in person that the condition is as stated.
Not everyone wants strangers in their houses, me included.
Cash transaction is not the best way, there are many fake dollars, some say at least 5%.

There may not be a single reason for this. My experience has been that from 2009-2013 I was able to buy a lot of great gear for far less than it’s available for now. For example I found an ML 26 for $400 and that included 3 sets of CAMACS. Lots of people selling stuff to make ends meet.

I kind of over-indulged. Got enough gear during that timeframe that my "need" for more has slowed down - just a lot of toys to swap in and out. Not to say the audiophile thirst has diminished, but I personally have been able to enjoy mixing and matching gear I already have rather than acquiring a lot more.

Probably won’t last, but that’s why I’ve bought a lot less the last 3 years. That has also caused me to focus the budget on buying more music rather than gear - checking out genres that sound better on a given configuration.
