In Reply to: You can nominate low-priced gear for coverage in my column in Stereophile! posted by John Marks on June 21, 2003 at 08:54:34:
I was impressed by the sound in the Odyssey room at HE2003. I believe some of their pieces are less than $1000. Sorry I can't be more specific as I did not get the specifics myself.Also, how about an article about used gear? I always recommend used to my friends just starting out in audio because when you are starting out, you may not know what you like/prefer. If you buy used, you can generally get all your money back if you decide you want something else. I once bought an Audio Research REF 1 Preamp for $3500, used it for 2 years, then received $3200 for it. I also bought a Dyna ST70 for $250, then Ebay'd it for $325 after one year. YOu will take a big hit with new gear if you decide you want something else which I have also done. I once bought a new ARC LS7 for $1400 at a dealer and then sold for $695 after a year and a half. Many new equipment dealers have used sections as well as Audiogon. I give this advice to my friends because it I sincerely believe it is in their best interest to buy used whenever possible. Sometimes it is not possible. I think your readers would appreciate an article about excellent used gear that is widely available on the used market for less than $1000. I think they would agree that many times used gear is the best option.
