Broken Glass, Missing Feet & Other Hazards Of Used Hifi

In the used hifi market, shipping skills pay the bills. Which bills? Who knows. Heartache bills, perhaps.

Seriously though, shipping knowledge specific to hifi (admittedly bizarre products that are fragile, heavy, delicate and absurdly weighted at the same time) can help prevent the abject tragedy of smashed hifi gear.

In this episode of The Hifi Podcast, Darren and Duncan talk about the challenge of buying and selling hifi gear on the used market, but specifically look at shipping challenges.

From crazy rigid enclosures to unbalanced chassis to fragile switches and knobs, audiophile equipment is one of the tougher nuts to crack when it comes to the chaotic world of ground shipment.

But, armed with a few pointers and techniques, and more importantly the right perspective, the guys think anyone can become a second hand hifi shipping master.

This week’s album is another new offering from a legendary master of strings, whose instrument of choice is the stand-up double bass. Somehow after listening, you may as the guys do, end up talking more about the guitarist.
