george53, First thing you need to do is realize that Uncle Kevin is a salesman, and a business owner. That doesnt mean that he is dishonest, which I dont beleive that he is, but he does steer his customers to what he has on hand. And that isn’t a... 
New Review on Pine Tree Audio cables

Anybody having trouble getting near-your-asking-price for used gear ? (Plz. no hype)
We are in a truly dark age similar to what my parents grew up in during the 50s in the darkest phase of Communism when you had to call a monster a beauty pageant. The horse s**t you and others continue to post on this audio forum stinks up thread...
