Why is there so much PS Audio stuff for sale?

There seem to be a ton of PS Audio cabling and components for sale. I know they have a wide product line up, and have been in business quite a while (for this industry). But most of it for sale seems to be pretty new, not older, outdated items. Are they not well regarded? Are they seen as a "stepping stone" manufacturer, where people move on to supposedly bigger and better things? Is their price/performance ratio out of whack? They make so many different items, like all sorts of cables, pre & power amps, DAC's, power conditioners, and tweeks. Is their product line too big, where they're really only good at producing one or a few different things? Is it coincidence? Or something else?

I have made a chart to benefit the audio community so that we will all know monthly through the rest of the year into January '08 which component will be questioned as to its preponderance in the classifieds:

April - YBA
May - Acoustic Zen
June - Cardas
July - Polk
Aug. - Insignia (because all audiophiles are
on vacation)
Sept. - Audio Research
Oct. - Magnepan
Nov. - Rega
Dec. - PS Audio (bi-annual showing)
Jan. - Clever Little Clock (of course, only received as
gift, NEVER purchased by self)

Now that you know the schedule, be sure to line up for your discounts! It's as easy as timing the stock market! ;)

MrT, It's easy; you GUESS when stocks are going down to buy, and you GUESS (yes, of course, with all your technical analysis at hand...)when they're going up to sell. Anyone can do it, that's why I don't recommend it. I was being facetious. As the wise say, it's "time in the market, not timing the market."
