Why is it that people follow other people like Sheep, popularising certain old gear making it the in thing to have when there are other pieces just as good or better at lower prices. Price hikes on these popular pieces are mind blowing in some cases. I was always in the thinking that old stuff that fetches high prices because they sold small quanities in the day either due to the then high prices compared to competition or they were generally deemed rubbish!! The latter would not suprise me beacuse like music that people did not like decades ago, have a totally different view of these days however this is not the case with Hi-Fi.. the over priced stuff is not reare & quity plentiful.

It does not matter if it is made in England, Europe or Japan. unless you on an engineered Nostalgia trip, but the majority of Audio guys are not.

Id love to know whats making these people tick!
