Noticeably less big but not lacking is what I said.
That is of course sound advice but I never had a chance to audition most of the gear I bought as there are no meets or decent shops that I can go to without taking a couple of holidays to do so. A bit of HF-third-world where I live it seems. Beats 'n' Bose all around.
So when I see people looking for info I realise they might be in the same situation.
I suppose this was very helpful then?
Going with cheap stuff is more often than not a bad idea and neither is advising a +$50000 option any good.
There was nothing to read between the lines by the way, I put it right there in the open.
He can save up to 1500 if he gets the full set he wants used and that's what I'd advise him to do as I bought far too many gear new at the insane prices we seem to get nowadays and when you want to sell newly bought expensive gear you lose a really big chunk of the price.
did I missed a post where he state he is in the same situation as you?
I never advise him to buy a $50k headphone, I am merely informing him. If you read my previous post to him, I clearly advise him to listen first before buying. There are plenty of DAC and amp combo that can do 95% or just as good as HDV 820 for less.
He can buy new, if he doesn't like it, return and take the restocking fees. He still comes out better than buying used stuff, he doesnt have to own something he doesnt like and have to think about reselling it.
