I'd recommend Hawthorne Stereo here in Seattle for used gear. They're very straight-up guys who specialize in high quality used gear in addition to their favorite Naim new stuff. You'll see their auctions on ebay sometimes but I'd recommend giving them a call directly or going to their site, http://www.hawthornestereo.com/. They've been around for more than 50 years and are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. It's a real treat to be able to go into a store that has hundreds and hundreds of interesting pieces of used equipment, it's a very different experience from the limited stock at most new-only stores.
Cheapest places to buy gear?
Hey. I'm hoping people will offer up the names and perhaps numbers or contacts, email, web address etc of the CHEAPEST places they have found to buy various audiophile items: everything from power amps, interconnects, tonearms, cardas wire, caps, cartridges, etc...
I think this will help a lot of people out besides cheap-ass li'l ol me.
