Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS
Questions, I am currious:(1)If it won't impoverish the seller because it is so small, why does it impoverish you the buyer?(2)How much time and money do you spend running around to get a money order/cashiers check, plus postage/envelopes; and why ... 
The Big Boys vs. the Little Guys
Yes, the Stage III look pretty interesting. Would love to demo them sometime. But I do not consider a product line price range of $700 to a high of $4500 for an 8 foot pair of speaker cables a cheaper alternative to Nordost. 
It's a Bad Movie, But It Was Fun to Watch Anyway
There seems to be a lot of agreement on what movies are "bad", so how bad are they really? Some are cult classics.I will contribute "A Boy and His Dog" (1975) starring a young Don Johnson. --- Young punk Johnson (Vic), aided by his telepathic (and...

Testing Your Amplifier Experience/Recommendation

B&W 804 Nautilus help
Sugarbrie, Audio Kinesis and Aball have mentioned good amps. I think Sugarbrie was probably trying to keep it simple in his explanation. Yes, a company can make up good specs to impress the public, but a serious audio company won't do that. If the... 
Experience with Blue Circle amps
Found it folks!!! I searched Audio Asylum and a few early BC22 owners were having a problem with a noisy transformer (Hum). The poster Gary Lester sais Blue Circle mailed him a new power cord with a filter on it that solved the hum and improved th... 
Weirdest Question asked when selling gear?
I agree with you SC53. I sold an Adcom power conditioner and listed it as "very good" condition. The person who bought it who did not ask about condition had a fit because they found a small nick in the paint on one corner. 
Cambridge Audio D500SE vs Arcam CD72

Can you get them from M&K?

Experience with Blue Circle amps
I think if you saw the email with the repair charges, and Blue Circle billed Blue Circle for the repair, that is called no charge. So how can you say they charge for their warranty work? I have had gear repaired made by Conrad Johnson, B&W, On...
