@english210 your objectives are completely understandable and of course you want to get your money back if only because it facilitates trying something else. The process of experimentation with audio is an aesthetic one; and is intrinsically enjoyable for many. Being able to conduct those experiments depends on not losing a lot of money on each experiment. It’s not about the money, but about keeping the romantic tension alive, as long as possible. (“Audiophilia As Courtly Love” would make a good article title!)
Opinions on the current market
I’ve been reading extensively, trying to narrow down the best option for a tube pre to add to my system. The nature of the hobby is such that I expect to try a few different options, so I’m curious about people’s opinions on the market right now. Figuring I’ll have to resell whatever i try, I’d like to ‘buy right’ now. I’m not by nature an equipment flipper, but there are just too many possible options to expect to get it right first time. Anyone else looking at prices now, with informed opinions of whether the market is good or not for a buyer?
