What's with all the Sony 5400ES units for sale?

Flavor of the month has changed?????

KISS:

people sell components whose sound they don't like.

sellers may provide explanations which do not reveal their sentiments about what they are selling.

i have never sold i product i liked, unless i was remiss in breaking it in.

i think you can apply the principle of not being satisfied with a product to almost any product that is sold.

however, most sellers won't admit that they no longer like the product.

imagine if you spend a lot of money for something and then shortly thereafter, sell it. cognitive dissonance comes into play and people seldom reveal the true reasons for why they sell things so as not to bruise their egos.

let me add to my last post with a question:
what seller would admit to not liking a component, if asked why the component is being sold ?

Yeesh. I cant stand these weekly/monthly threads. Why is there so much Macintosh? Pass? Aerial? Fords? Hyundais?

Mrtennis you're right, it would be like shooting one's self in the foot, you'd be stuck with a boat anchor.

Visit a car lot, the sales guy will tell you his is the best thing since sliced bread and better than the other brands, otherwise he'd lose his job.

His pitch would be "we only have a few of these, and at this price they're gonna go fast" yeah right.
