Name brands that are not so well known are skipped

I've noticed that the lesser known brands on Audiogon's Auction and Classified listings receive significantly fewer page hits than do the name brands. It's understandable if they're being skipped due to keyword searches. What I don't know if if they're being skipped simply because people don't know who they are and simply pass over them for that reason. Gaining knowledge of the market is fun, free and takes little time. If fact, if it were me looking for a new amp, preamp, etc... I would NOT do a keyword search, but take my time and scroll down through the listings. Lamphear_electronics  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 08-18-08

Equipment that is point to point wired has the highest potential to make it through the ages regardless of who made it (as long as it was properly made). There are hundreds of Scott and Fisher amps still around and in good condition. I wouldn't worry about the amp's maker disappearing. Be concerned about how the amp is constructed. Construction details are extremely important. A good design that is point to point wired is superior over those made on printed circuits. I've dealt with enough lifted traces and burned boards for a lifetime. Glued wires belong in computers, not tube audio gear.
