Awesome! follow up Lummy.
Any new gear headed your way in 2021 ?
Follow Ups:
As far as gear is concerned, that's always been unpredictable. Since the late-00s, my strategy, if it even rises to that level, is to let my audio circle make major upgrades. I then wait for their old, but still plenty good, items. Or, since everyone started to downsize in the late-00s, the gear and racks left, but often, the cables remained. That's how we ended up with excess cabling.
Nobody has the same tastes, but when my audio circle spells out how a product performed, I can glean enough from that, if it would work for my needs. My audio circle does an honest job, of investigating such issues as noise, heat, ergonomics, aesthetics, dust, accessibility, and compatibility.
Because a Cable Cooker (plus various adapters) has taken up residence at my house, cables are shipped to me all the time. Only 10-20% gives me permission to write about his cables. So you don't see or hear about the other 80-90%. But with all of this experience, you (a) know the difference between untreated and Cooked, (b) develop your own preferences, but (c) understand that, with so many to choose from, there's got to be something for everyone, at all budget levels.
Right On! Lummy
the trickle down effect is awesome. There is a plethora of excellent gear
on the secondary market.
Regarding Cables/Cords, have you cooked SwissCable ?
If so, which series? Outcomes ?
Given that I have no personal experience with Swiss Cables, I reached out to a few of my audiophile acquaintances. None of them said they've tried any, either.
Yeah, since the latter half of the 00s, I've let my audio circle be the guinea pig. So if there's something they move on from, but I might like, I check it out. Such was the case with the Simaudio 600i integrated amp. Its last owner moved up to higher-end Simaudio, so he was more than happy to sell the 600i to me. That all-silver unit was in great shape.
Also starting from the late-00s, my audio circle downsized. So while lots of excess turntables, phonostages, amps, speakers, and line-level interconnects were sold off, some choice powercords remained. That's how I obtained some of the massively expensive Pranawire powercords.
