Yeah, I agree that using Audiogon is a great way to put together a system. I believe that I have put every piece of my system together using Audiogon, (speakers, amps, preamp, turntable, tonearm, cartridge, cdp, tuner, & cabling), with the exception of my stands, (which were bought from a local dealer who was blowing them out as Demo pieces). I would say that I put together my system for about 40% of MSRP, and most of it was, at most, a couple of years old, or in the case of my speakers, brand new, still sealed in the boxes.
