But I didn't know you were in charge of what is, or is not, the correct way to ask/answer a question on Audiogon.
Never claimed to be, but some questions indicate the need for some guidance.
I've only been on here since the beginning.
Then you should know as well as anyone that general questions elicit general responses.
Perhaps AudiogoN could make you the "thread hall monitor"?
I'll gladly accept the nomination if it helps users to ask more effective questions.
"Why are so many X for sale?" is not an effective question. Why? Because if owners dislike their item, they are not going to tell the truth, in order to maintain re-sale. Manufacturers and dealers are not going to tell the truth if a new and improved product is in the pipeline or they need to reduce inventory to make room for new stock, thus prompting dumping of the item in question. Perhaps some Gallo owners are moving on simply for personal listening preferences.
What more do you need to know? Haven't you been around long enough to be able to answer your own question?
