| Best place to sell high end audio equipment? I’ve found many people believe that their equipment is worth a lot but anything they wish to purchase has little value. Somewhere in between is reality. Most used equipment sells for 50% of retail. Exceptions include equipment less than a year old... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. This year I sold a Mark Levinson amp and preamp and replaced it with a Lyngdorf 3400 with Room Correction. Couldn’t be happier. That a $7000 integrated equals and in many cases surpasses nearly $20,000 of electronics is amazing. The Lyngdorf is 20... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... If you don’t want to ship you’ve drastically limited your market. If you don’t have original shipping boxes, you’ve likely devalued your sale by 10% even if you do a good job with packing. Your item is unlikely to be worth more than 50% of the com... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins @honeybee2012 I'm hoping to see the Innuos within two weeks. I did preorder, however, so my guess is general release will not be until October or so.I ordered mine through Tony Barnette at Ellington HiFi. I also bought my Lyngdorf through him and ... | |
| Lyngdorf TDAI-3400 I own a 3400 and love it. It replaces a Mark Levinson 326S pre and 532H amp and a PS Audio Directstream DAC. Currently feeding it digital via a Bryston BDP-2 but have an Innuos Zenith Mark III on order. The Lyngdorf will play DSD files (I output v... | |
| Music Server - The Search Begins I also own a Lyngdorf 3400. I have a Innuos Zenith Mark III on order that has the functions you require. They make less expensive models too. Being able to control the server via IPad or IPhone is a must for me. The Innuos is also a Roon ready Cor... | |
| Best used integrated for under $5000 I love my Lyngdorf 3400. The Lyngdorf 2170 is also an excellent integrated. | |
| Luxman Integrated? Great integrateds! | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? I hold a real estate license and have often told sellers three things make your property sell: 1) people have to know your property is for sale; 2) it has to be presented in its best condition; 3) it has to be priced correctly. You can get the fir... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? On a vacation to the Pacific Northwest two years ago, I auditioned audio gear while my wife and daughters shopped. I heard the Magico S1s at one store and the Wilson Sabrinas at another. The Sabrinas really impressed me, driven by a relatively mod... | |
| LOOKING TO MAKE A TURNTABLE CHANGE, HOPEFULLY AN IMPROVEMENT I’ve played golf with people who have played for 50 years and never broken 80. If experience equated to expertise, all we would need is time. That’s why that’s a condescending post. | |
| HAVE ALL SALES STOPPED ON AUDIOGON ??? The trick is buying right and selling right. As someone pointed out, 50% is about right unless 1) the item is virtually brand new 2) really old 3) in fair condition 4) a hot and desirable item 5) an esoteric item not well supported 6) old tech in ... | |
| Looking for a high end integrated to suit Dynaudio contour 5.4's If you don’t mind spending less money, then check out the Lyngdorf 3400. 200W into 8 ohms, 400W into 4, and the benefit of Room Correction. Made a big difference for me. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! So this exhaustive addition has been done with one pair of speakers, the Martin Logans? I always thought that amp/speaker matching was a big deal but fail to see how matching one speaker has overall relevance. Am I missing something? | |
| Best audio companies and dealers Ellington HiFi in Loxley, AL. Tony Barnette was a pleasure to deal with during my recent Lyngdorf purchase. The Music Room in Broomfield, CO has always been very fair when I’ve sold them used equipment and purchased equipment from them. Goodwins i... |
