Jafant, you're good advice might be history; I've got a CJ preamp that needs repair, and CJ was too expensive, I contacted a repair shop in Canada that was going to repair it, and they told me CJ wanted to charge too much for the parts; their advice was to forget it.
They Almost Never Quote A Price , Why?
Have you ever noted that most expensive audio gear web sites from manufacturer to retail stores withhold prices for most items. I find this annoying, I can afford a certain level of expense but not any. I know you can look for sales of used gear etc. etc. but I really want to see the regular retail price, it gives me something to think about or put money aside for. what are your thoughts abut this.

I notice a lot of people are scratching around trying to fit a square peg in a round hole; face it, the middle class (those who are struggling to keep their head above water) have been priced out of the "high end", and that's all I'm going to say about that; by the way, if you've got a real sharp knife, you just might be able to fit that square peg in the round hole. |

There's also this-logging onto a website from, say, your work laptop that has different cookies etc than your smart phone often pulls up two different prices for the same item-Amazon is notorious for this. It is also well known that big box retailers charge more in affluent neighborhoods than poorer ones and even more in towns where they have no direct big box competition (Charltottesville Va has a Lowes but not a Home Depot for example). It is possible that said purveyors of high end items are waiting to see who you are and/or where you live before they quote a (more or less than list) price. |
