how much is my Perreaux worth ?
I just reluctantly sold a PMF 2150B for $700. However it was serviced with new caps and pots. I imagine a 3150 is probably worth a grand in good shape. Same for the SM2. It's great gear. 
Amplifier for Quads
Of course he doesn't need the power. A TNT120 would suffice. It's just that the Acoustats were designed to adequately drive elecrtostats. Once Roy is done with them, they are SOA. A TNT 120 could be had for under $500. Roy would rebuild it for $40... 
Made in America
I think the pertinent phrase here was coined by one of your recent presidents, ie: "The New World Order". A very scary prospect when you consider the ongoing economical adjustments we've been observing in Europe and China which holds the largest U...

Amplifier for Quads
An Acoustat TNT 200 will spank the Bedini. I've owned several Bedinis and like them. Still have a couple. But the Acoustats are more than a notch above. Extremely fast with extreme extension. They are simply stunning. Guaranteed to blow you away! ... 
Asking for guidance on my first hi-fi system...
What ever you do, don't get an early NAD built in the late 70's. They had no head room. I fried a beautiful pair of B&W DM7s with a 90wpch. receiver. I don't recall the model but mine was a fairly common story. They soon began producing amps w...

CDP speed control
I'm pretty sure it's not my CDP. I have only a few cds with this issue. I have the original versions of the Let It Be album and know them well so when I put on the Naked version it was very obviously sped up. I have a T-Rex cd that's also sped up.... 
UPS Air- Worth it?
DHL is by far the best, most organized outfit imo. It's always there before I expect it. UPS is by far the worst. 
upscale audio is this legal?
I was in a UPS depot one time and watched what goes on for a while. Last time I ever accepted or shipped anything by them. They also don't pay attention to instructions. 
what Fi?
The entire technology has progressed a long way since the 70's. The terminology is never again going to represent the kind of polar differences we saw back then. It's all "HI-FI" now. Go to Starbuck's and see. 
what Fi?
You got taken, Elizabeth. 
what would you do?
My goodness! Somebody start a new thread already! Which brings 52tiger to mind. BTW, where is the shit disturber?

Ozzy members who do you use for shipping OS
