Rawson Resale......

Wwoof01- I see you are a new member here and this is your first posting.
Im wondering why you picked Tim Rawson's amps when there are countless other 'raved' about products that are bought and re-sold?
What is your motive?

Wwoof01, I have to guess why you posted in the way you did. You ask about a phenomenon that is apparent only to yourself. Do you even know exactly why you asked?

I think you are wondering if the number of deals involving Rawson amps on AudiogN means that people are not happy with them once they hear them. You have not said so but that could easily be the assumption behind your question.

A much simpler explanation for the number of deals you observe might be the fact that Tim Rawson sells his amps via AudiogoN and AudiogoN is a good place to find a Rawson amp if you want one. It is the main marketplace for Rawson gear.

Just for the record, I own a Rawson amp. I bought it here, it does exactly what I want and I think it is excellent value, but if I want to upgrade or downsize I will sell it. I have known other Rawson owners who have done that too. I have known Linn owners who have done that, NAD owners who have done that, Quad owners who have done that, JMLabs owners et cetera et cetera.

Happy listening!

I want to go on the record I 'possibly' own the best sounding amp I have ever owned,be it tube or solid state,and the amp only cost me $235 shipped.
A Rawson Aleph Mini J
I had a Pass Labs Aleph-3 a few years ago,and made a blunder by selling it in favor of speakers that were a hard to drive 4 ohm 88dB
I've longed for the sound of the Aleph-3 since the day I sold it.
I have very easy to drive speakers now,but not the funds to buy another Aleph-3.
I was skeptical if a Rawson Aleph would come even close to the sound quality of the $2500 retail Aleph-3
I have to say,if my memory is right,the Aleph Mini J sounds as good or even better than my old Aleph-3.
The J-Fets in the Mini J gives it more high frequency detail and better sparkle than I remember my Aleph-3 having.

Wwolf01,
You may see my Mini J for sale one day and you can say "There's another guy that cant wait to unload it"
If I ever sell my Mini J,it will be to buy a different Rawson amp.
I doubt that will happen though,this amps a keeper.

Ihave a pair of class d amps from him that I got last year used. I love them.Phil Brady.

Does Rawson have a website?
