I have bought and sold quite a few pieces over the years. I don’t buy very many brand new components. The problem with doing it this way is I’m unable to audition various pieces with my gear. Therefore, when I get something that doesn’t work, like a wyred4sound integrated a few years back, I’ll need to resell it. I have learned to stick with name brand equipment so if I do need to sell, I won’t lose money. So, akg_ca, let me answer objectively.
Components, McIntosh
Cables, Kimber
Speakers-vintage JBL
