And in this day & age of the brick & morter disappearance, the audio salons where you can see, touch, feel & hear just aren't there anymore, so many of us buy these expensive items *we're only reading about* (see my credit card statements for vintage European 12AX7's this last couple of months), leaving plenty of room for error and more active AG accounts. My stereo was a lot more stable in the 90's.
"You cannot handle the truth"
Should anybody be weary about any equipment (mostly new) that are barely used, no way near the usual break-in period, before putting it on sale?
Like, why would anybody used it for, say, 70 hours or so, then decided to sell? It's always a red flag to me, as if it's some kind of lemon, some forgotten freight being fall off from a truck, or the equipment sounds woeful.... I would not think any legit dealer would be that casual neither.
Not to upset anybody.... would love to hear some reasonable explanations such that I don't make the wrong assumption...
