Default Interesting...No Sashas on Audiogon yet

Seems like within a year or even less after a new high end product introduction, they start to show up on Agon. There have even been a few Max 3's, and plenty of the newest-latest-greatest competitor speakers. But I have yet to see one pair of Sashas for sale.

My theory? People who bought Sashas are totally satisfied and like me, plan to keep them!

Sure...this is a useless piece of information and maybe I'm just bored, but I thought I'd share my observations.

Hey Hey, your letting your mind wander from that nice system you have there. Back to the Music.

Yeah, you are right! The problem is my Tron phono stage is still being built so I'm stuck with CD's and they just don't create the same emotional connection as my vinyl system.

Although...Duke Ellington's Mofi Blues in Orbit is sounding pretty good!

Dave, I think I am the only one so far to let the Sasha's go.... of course not by choice but due to circumstances.

That TRON should be worth the wait.

Incredibly beautiful build quality...

Yeah, but there must be an inverse relationship between parts count and price! I guess it's just more costly to use fewer parts...

The Tron Seven Phono is a great phono stage. I've had mine for quite sometime already.
Graham Tricker is a great guy to deal with.
One tip: make sure you don't use 12au7 even though its a substitute for the 5814WA. It will be a disaster due to its voltage differences.
2nd tip: use Symposium Rollerblock Series 2 underneath them-> very good results.
3rd tip: Kubala sosna power cords works well with them.

Good luck!!

1) I don't think there will be a new version of the Sasha for some time.

2) I think it's darned hard to find a room they don't sound good in.

3) Fabulous speaker. And I think your point highlights that fact.

Hopefully Wilson won't change or revise the Sashas in a long time.
Holds the value well.
And hopefully they also won't increase prices.
