@tubeguy76 if you look on Steve Huff’s website he is selling his Billie for $1,400 which makes it a pretty compelling value if you really are leaning that direction. A friend emailed me that, besides listing his Billie for sale, Mr. Huff has also listed his DCS Lina Dac for sale.

@samureyex I’m not sure I would draw any conclusions whatsoever from Mr. Huff’s gear swaps.
Like many of us, I enjoy his reviews/videos but there will always be something new on the horizon. Once again, his credibility would be well served to avoid the last bit of hyperbole in his reviews where he often states “this is my forever thing” because the next forever thing will materialize a short time later. He has carved out a cool niche, one that many of us would be pleased to occupy, where he frequently gets to try new things.
That’s why I appreciate Lavorgna(Twittering Machines), Reichert(Stereophile), the late Art Dudley, some of the Audiophiliac reviews but Lavorgna and Reichert though lay out what they are hearing and how it might apply to the reader. Mr. Huff is gathering an audience but it would serve him well to evolve away from “its so good I bought it and its my new reference” reviews because weeks/months later its for sale. He doesn’t owe any of us any more transparency but it sure begs the question is he buying low and selling high. |
ah yes, huff and his reference gear...this week and maybe next.... but likely not the week after... draw your own conclusions -- he is a passionate audiophile, but it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to see there is a different game being played here for those of us not in the video making/monetization/churn business, the smart way to try stuff is to buy at a fair price used from a decent seller, then resell if it doesn’t meet expectations... there is work and effort involved, and an occasional disappointment along the way dealing with people, but in my experience, it is worth it |
