Podcast #34 – Buying used gear + Mission, Roon & Totem

  • After the 2.5-hour epic episode with Srajan Ebaen (#33 – ‘How much amplifier power do we REALLY need?’), Michael Lavorgna and I decided to keep it tight for episode #34 — 57 mins and we’re out.

    The main topic for this episode hones in on an experience I’ve had numerous times. (Perhaps you have too?) It goes something like this: when discussing a new product on a forum, in a Facebook group or in a comments section, it doesn’t take long before someone shows up to say, “You do realise that you could do much better if you bought second hand?”. Well, yeah. But also: no. Lavorgna and I discuss the ‘no’.
