| Audio Research REF 6 to REF 6SE upgrade. @bigkidz I wish you lived near me in Central NC. I have 2 Pass Camp Amp Kits unboxed, waiting to be built. Unfortunately, I haven't built a kit since the '70's, and at 59 and a half years old I have mild Parkinson-like trembles. I'm afraid... | |

So is 1/3 off retail worth blemish or two to you?" Therein lies the entire crux of my original post, @dill. Like everyone else, I’m all for saving mone... | |
| Is It Common For Questions About Gear For Sale To Go Unanswered? @dill -- I will assume the best intent.
