Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000???
Conrad Johnson MF-2100 now on Agon @$750. It is 100wpc. The MF-2200 is 200wpc and should go for about $1000 used. Check out the reviews at audioreview.com. You can't go wrong with CJ 
Are you allowed to increase the selling price ?
Cornfed> I wasn't relally interested in buying it but thought it quite odd. I had not seen this practice on Agon before. I know I have been in stores before where an item was marked at one price and they rang it up at a higher price. When I poi...

Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500
I agree with Sean . I watched this tthread develop since yesterday. My first instinct was to say that all speaker manufacturers make a speaker in this price range so take your pick. I refrained from being a wise guy waiting for Sunny to answer Sea... 
GRANITE 657 CDP anybody heard it?
I had considered the 650 prior to the intro of the 657. I also ran into the same problem of not enough info (reviews)to go on. I am glad to hear of Racer's positive experience. The biggest reason I did not audition the Granite was the lack of cont...
